Helen Shores Lee Comes to Mason Tomorrow!

Helen Shores Lee Comes to Mason Tomorrow!

Helen Shores Lee is coming to speak for Mason's annual Sojourner Truth Lecture, hosted by Women and Gender Studies and African and African American Studies.  She is coming to talk about her "Journey to Equality", which documents her story of growing up in Birmingham during the civil rights era.  Aurther Shores, her father, was a predominant lawyer in Birmingham at the time, and her family was often a target of Ku Klux Clan bombings.  The story of Helen Shores and her family is one of the most inspiring and real accounts of life, struggle, determination, courage and triumph.  We are lucky and excited to hear her story and to have her on campus here at Mason.

The lecture will be held tomorrow at 3:00 pm Mason Hall Meese Room and there will be a reception afterward.  We hope to see you there!
