Dr. Afua Cooper, the James Robinson Johnston Chair in Black Canadian
Studies, is launching the Distinguished Lecture series with a lecture
by noted lawyer and human rights activist Dr. Burnley "Rocky" Jones.
The lecture will be taking place on January 25th, 2012 in room 105 of
the Weldon Law Building at 7PM. There will be a reception starting at
6PM. Rocky will be lecturing on "50 Years of the Struggle for Human
and Civil Rights in the African Nova Scotian Community."
The James Robinson Johnston lecture series aims to create dialogue
between the African Nova Scotian community and Dalhousie on issues
that impact the African diaspora locally, nationally and
internationally. Following the mandate of the Chair to increase the
profile of Black Canadian Studies, the lecture series creates bridges
between the university and wider African Canadian communities. Dr.
Burnley "Rocky" Jones is an exciting and appropriate first lecture to
launch this series.
