“Reflections of a Segregated Life” lecture by Jeff Guillory at Sept. 22 WSU Common Reading Program

“Reflections of a Segregated Life,” a lecture about the personal side of growing up in the Jim Crow south, will be presented by Jeff Guillory, director of Washington State University’s Office of Diversity Education, at 7 p.m. Tues., Sept. 22, in Todd 130.  The public is welcome at this free event hosted by the Common Reading Program.

Guillory will share his experience with the civil rights movement and integration, and how he chose to make a difference. He believes in this philosophy: “We have more things in common than our differences.”

Recommendations for the next common reading book, must also address the two-year theme of “leadership and social justice.” Nominations will close Oct. 15.
