Like the book itself, our launch event for Rod Paige’s new work, The Black-White Achievement Gap: Why Closing It Is the Greatest Civil Rights Issue of Our Time, is going like hotcakes. Don’t miss this discussion on February 24 from 12pm – 1:30pm, including a light lunch starting at 11:45. Secretary Paige will present his thesis and then Hugh B. Price (formerly of the National Urban League) and James Forman, Jr. (Georgetown Law School) will respond. Fordham’s Checker Finn will moderate and attendees receive complimentary copies of the book. RSVP at [email protected]. Though we’re almost at capacity, don’t worry; if you can’t make the event, you can watch the live webcast from our website home page.
