I received this in my school email today To the VCU Community:
It took a hurricane - not since 9/11 has the national press been forced to confront the issues of race and class in America and in so doing, redefined the country's political landscape. At our annual Living the Dream program honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the VCU community has a unique opportunity to learn about the Katrina disaster from a panel of media professionals who will share their experiences in words, photographs and video. Their presentation will challenge us to consider how well prepared are we to take care of the most vulnerable citizens in our own community. Please join us for:
Hurricane Katrina and the Media: Looking Back, Moving Forward Thursday, January 26, 2006 7:00 p.m. W. E. Singleton Center for the Performing Arts

This program is free and open to the public. Please plan to attend and encourage your colleagues, students, and friends in the community to join us.
