Anti-Racist Writer to Keynote Wesleyan Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration

The Middletown community is invited to reserve free tickets to hear Tim Wise, who has said, "the vast majority of Americans are oblivious to the lived experiences of people of color," speak later this month.

The Middletown community is invited a Martin Luther King Jr. celebration keynote address by one of the world's leading anti-racist writers and educators Friday, Jan. 31, at 3:15 p.m. at Wesleyan University's Memorial Chapel.

There is a block of tickets reserved for the community to attend this event.  A community member may reserve two tickets. Tickets can be picked up the day of the event at will-call and specific information will be emailed to those that sign up.
