The free event at EF Gordon Hall is a follow-up to a gathering at Devonshire Recreation Club on February 2, exactly 51 years after the Belco riots.
Educator Nekesha Holdipp and activist Glenn Fubler will facilitate the BIU gathering, to run from 5.30pm to 7pm, further exploring lessons from the clash.
