Join us and our Foundation Society's President, Dr. Josh Slifkin for a discussion on Ralph Ellison. In this program, Dr. Slifkin facilitates a conversation about Mr. Ellison’s short story, “A Party Down at the Square.” We try to answer questions regarding race, class, historical traumas, and we got to embody the characters of this intriguing story. Lastly, can this story be taught in today’s educational climate?
