Upcoming virtual Peace and Justice series presentation to focus on “For Whom is the American Dream?"

St. Scholastica’s next Alworth Center for Peace and Justice lecture series will be held virtually this month.

The theme for the 2020-21 Alworth Center for Peace and Justice Lecture Series is “New Immigrants – Familiar Stories?” This year’s speakers examine the causes of today’s immigration patterns, and look into the challenges and opportunities offered by this new wave of immigrants. The series is free and available for anyone to attend through Zoom. Attendees are asked to pre-register at css.edu/peace.

This month, ordained minister Charlotte Franz will present “For Whom is the American Dream?” at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 4 via Zoom.
