  POSTPONED - Matthew R. Morris presents Black Boys Like Me: Confrontations with Race, Identity and Belonging

  Wednesday, February 19, 2025
  12:40 pm
  Tuohy Hall Auditorium

  This event has been postponed.

  Matthew R. Morris, an educator, anti-racism advocate and Toronto-based writer, is the author of the instant national bestseller, Black Boys Like Me: Confrontations with Race, Identity and Belonging.

  In addition to teaching, his work and public speaking on the deconstruction of Black masculinity, hip-hop culture and schooling has taken Morris across North America to consult on and learn about the current challenges facing students and educators.

  SJNY’s Office of Student Involvement and Leadership, in collaboration with the Office of the Dean and Greenlight Bookstore, is pleased to present this free and open-to-the-public event as part of the Brooklyn Voices series.

  We will have copies of the book for sale the day of the event, and there will be a Q&A after the talk, along with a book signing.
