Author David Roediger to Address Ohio State Audience
 Join the Kirwan Institute for a lecture by a leading historian of race and labor. David Roediger, Kendrick C. Babock Professor of History at the University of Illinois, will lead a discussion about his new book, How Race Survived U.S. History. The lecture will be held on Wednesday, February 25 at 3 p.m. in the Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center, Martin Luther King Lounge, 153 W. 12th Ave.
Roediger will explore how the idea of race was created and recreated throughout American history, examining the way in which race “intersected all that was dynamic and progressive in U.S. history, from democracy and economic development to migration and globalization.”
