Honor Juneteenth with a PSEG True Diversity Film screening
and Standing in Solidarity
conversation on the history and impact of historically Black colleges and
universities (HBCUs).
These schools, some predating the Civil War, are credited with building the
African American middle class and creating pathways for economic and social
mobility. The program includes a PSEG
True Diversity Film screening of Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Black Colleges
and Universities (Firelight Films, 2018). The documentary
examines the impact of HBCUs on American history, culture and national
identity.
A conversation with Black leaders, who are also HBCU graduates, will take
place following the film screening. Our panel will be moderated by Calvin Ledford
(Hampton University), President, PSEG Foundation, and Director, Corporate
Social Responsibility.
The Juneteenth celebration continues with an afterparty hosted by Heritage
Hall located in the Hahne’s building at 54 Halsey Street. Tour the “HBCU
Experience” exhibit, witness the unveiling of our panelists’ portraits,
enjoy sounds by Pitt-Goodson of BrownMill Company and more! Plus:
Sport your HBCU attire for a chance to get photographed and become a part
of the Heritage Hall legacy.
Our panelists include:
The Honorable Mayor
Ras J. Baraka (Howard University), Mayor of the City of
Newark, author and poet
Brielle Lewis
(Hampton University), Director, Corporate Sponsorship Strategy, Prudential
Financial
