The University of Michigan in Ann Arbor will honor the Rev. Jesse Jackson on his five decades of civil rights activism during a series of events scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 16.
The events include Jackson delivering the keynote speech at 4 p.m. at Rackham Auditorium. He will share his reflections on the presidential race and on the future of the struggle for economic, political and social justice.
Following his speech, the former editor of the Michigan Chronicle will moderate a question-and-answer session. Students from the School of Music, Theatre & Dance will perform, bringing home the connection between social justice and the arts.
The event is free and open to the public, but requires a ticket. Tickets are available at the Michigan Union ticket office. Join in on the conversation: #RevJacksonLegacy
