As we approach the 250th anniversary of this nation’s founding, you are invited to a powerful and thought-provoking conversation that asks: Whose stories, labor and intellect shaped the world we live in today?
The 2025-26 African American Workshop and Lecture Series kicks off Oct. 10 with “The History of Absence: Race and the Making of the Modern World” delivered by Jonathan Holloway — renowned historian of post-emancipation America and current president and CEO of the Henry R.

Attendees are asked to RSVP for the lunch and lecture taking place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Papé Reception Hall of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. The event will also be livestreamed starting at 11:30 a.m.
