This Week: Monthly Lunch and Bar Brew!

Slavery:
The American Tragedy
There are lessons to be learned from history, none more important than our struggle with the concept that “all men are created equal.” The problems arising from slavery are as old as our nation and as new as the racial unrest that plagues us today. In his presentation, Slavery: The American Tragedy, Tom Strong will discuss the sin of slavery, the racism that was created during the 250 years when slavery was part of our culture and the challenges that lie ahead. Court decisions, statutes, ordinances, proclamations, debates, the Constitution, and 89 graphics will help tell the story. Wednesday, May 18, 11:45, Kentwood Hall, 700 E St Louis (1MCLE) (registration)
