Tuesday, Jan. 24
Capturing the Dream
5-6:30 p.m.

This art display will feature the work of children from Syracuse elementary schools. The artists’s pieces will relate to King’s life, legacy and dream. London Ladd, illustrator of the children’s books “March On! The Day My Brother Martin Changed the World” by Christine King-Ferris, and “Oprah: The Littlest Speaker” by Carole Boston Weatherford, will be signing copies of these books. The first 25 students to arrive will receive a free book. A reception will follow.

Wednesday, Jan. 25
“Black Males/Black Dreams: Climbing to the Mountaintop”
Documentary and Panel Discussion
7:30 p.m.
Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium, Newhouse 3

“Black Males/Black Dreams” looks at the myriad of obstacles faced by many African American males, including low academic achievement, an inner-city culture of hopelessness and poverty, and the lack of black male role models in schools and professional life. Through the eyes of the men themselves, their friends, relatives, teachers and mentors in community agencies, the film explores what it takes to succeed and to steer clear of what has been called “the school-to-prison pipeline.” Theirs is a story of resilience, hope and faith in the American dream. The event is co-sponsored by the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications and the School of Education.

Thursday, Jan. 26
