“A White Neighbor, a Black Surgeon, and a Mormon Computer Scientist Walk into a Bar…”
As we recognize Juneteenth, a holiday that brings awareness to what journalist Corey Mitchell calls “…a complex understanding of the nation’s past”, we also need to understand how many of our neighbors, staff, and faculty—even those born in the last 100 years—continue to navigate through the environment that made Juneteenth remarkable. Dr. Johnson will share a bit of his personal story and how this story informs his national service and passion for teaching.
This talk will be held live in person in Berger Auditorium (Skirkanich Hall basement), streamed on Zoom, and recorded.
Following the event, a limited number of box lunches will be available for in-person attendees. If you would like a box lunch, please RSVP here so we can get an accurate headcount.
