Watch party for the Mary Frances Early Lecture on Feb. 2

• Date: Tuesday, Feb. 2
• Time: 3 p.m.
• Location: Aderhold Hall (room number will be assigned prior to the event)
• Register today

Please join the College’s faculty, staff, and students for a small, socially-distanced gathering in Aderhold Hall to watch the virtual 21st annual Mary Frances Early Lecture. Space is limited, so please register by noon on Monday, Feb 1. Refreshments will be served!

Each year, an invited speaker delivers a lecture that honors the quiet determination and dignity with which Mary Frances Early pursued her efforts to ensure that the state’s flagship university became an institution of higher learning for all people of Georgia. The annual lecture demonstrates the progress that has been made while also recognizing that work still remains to fully realize Early’s vision.

This year’s speaker is poet Nikki Giovanni, whose poems first emerged from the Black Rights Movement in the 1960s. Today, she remains one of the commanding voices gracing America’s political and poetic landscape.
