Ideas That Matter - December 8th, 2020 @ 12 noon – 2:30 pm EST
Participants are asked to read scripted roles, led by hosted narration, depicting pre-colonial /Africa to present-day America from the Black American’s perspective.
Given the nature of the Black American Tree Project we are asking that you self identify your ethnicity on the checkout page. Although not required, this will help us to assign participant roles and to create a more effective representation of the project.
