LITTLE ROCK — A University of Southern California professor of American studies and ethnicity will speak Friday in Little Rock on racial healing in the South.
The lecture by Manuel Pastor, titled "Pathways to Racial Healing and Equity in the American South: A Community Philanthropy Strategy," will be at noon in Sturgis Hall at the University of Arkansas' Clinton School of Public Service.
His latest book, Uncommon Common Ground: Race and America’s Future, documents the gap between progress in racial attitudes and racial realities, the school said.
Pastor is also the director of USC's program for environmental and regional equity and co-director of university's Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration. His lecture is sponsored by the Clinton School Center on Community Philanthropy.
The lecture is free and public, and reservations can be made by e-mailing publicprograms@clintonschool.uasys.edu or by calling (501) 683-5239.
