And save the date for Bree Newsome

Bree Newsome is a musician, filmmaker, and contemporary civil rights icon who first garnered national attention for climbing the flagpole at the South Carolina statehouse in 2015 and pulling down the Confederate flag as a protest against racist symbolism.

The event is free and happening in the Canzani Center Auditorium at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday, March 21. RSVP now to save your seat!
