Description

For nearly two decades, cartoonist Keith Knight has been creating funny, politically astute comic strips touching upon some of the most divisive issues of our time, including racially motivated police violence. In this year's VCU Libraries Black History Month Lecture, Keith Knight presents a slide show that uses comics to take our country to task on the subject of race. A book sale, signing and reception follow the talk.

This event is free and open to the public, but please register. Parking is available for a fee in the West Broad Street, West Main Street and West Cary Street parking decks.
