Please check with Dr. Byrd...last I heard she had not inquired re: the Buskey Auditorium. I'll be glad to hear differently if that is the case. You can acknowledge the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Minorities And Communication Division for their "co-sponsorship" of the event. You may also want to say that it is a Black History Month event. Our Dean Leon Wilson has agreed to give a brief welcome. Is there any other info you need? Thanks for doing this.
