Since the settlement of Louisville in 1778, African Americans have created a history behind the wall of slavery and the veil of segregation, and have forged a remarkably vibrant community that, at times, influenced the political and cultural history of the nation. Mervin Aubespin, Kenneth Clay, and J. Blaine Hudson, authors of the book "Two Centuries of Black Louisville" will discuss these challenges and accomplishments. Copies of the book "Two Centuries of Black Louisville" will be available for purchase and signing by the authors after the program. Bring your own lunch, drinks are provided.
