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.

The History of the Event:
The Ida B. Wells Lecture is an annual program designed to highlight the relationships between the mass media and the African-American community. The emphasis is on critical areas of African-American participation in mass media. By bringing these issues to light, and up for public discussion, the hope is that we can become more critical, analytical and demanding in our use of and relationships with the mass media.
Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, a pioneer African-American journalist, publisher and civil rights activist, epitomizes the journalistic ideals and the level of consciousness that we in the Department of Communications strive to develop in our students. Her determination to achieve her goals in the face of adversity, coupled with her professionalism and influence on the growth of the African-American press are the factors that made us dedicate the lecture series to her memory.
