To celebrate Black History Month, Hiram College is collaborating with Lake View Cemetery Foundation, the History Center at Western Reserve Historical Society and WVIZ/PBS ideastream® on a series of lectures on prominent African Americans buried at Lake View Cemetery in Cleveland.

“Race-Based Trauma: Police Violence on Social Media as Modern-Day Lynchings,” will come to the forefront of discussion at Hiram College’s Center for Literature and Medicine’s Feb. 20 lecture. Presented by Monnica T. Williams, Ph.D., ABPP, the lecture is made possible by an endowment from The Margaret Morgan Clark Foundation.

Celebrated speakers, powerful films and other timely events will collectively headline Black History Month at Hiram College, which begins today with a Black History Door Challenge.
