Dalton State College welcomes Blackmon

In recognition of Black History Month, Dalton State College’s Fine Arts and Lecture Series is sponsoring a lecture by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Douglas Blackmon on Tuesday beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Goodroe Auditorium of Memorial Hall.

The lecture, which will focus on Blackmon’s book “Slavery by Another Name: the Re-Enslavement of Black Americans from the Civil War to World War II,” is free and open to the public.

Blackmon, a native of Mississippi, lives in Atlanta and serves as the Wall Street Journal’s Atlanta bureau chief. He has written extensively over the past 20 years on the topic of racial segregation in America.

In 2000, the National Association of Black Journalists recognized Blackmon for his stories that revealed secret financial connections in the 1960s between a wealthy white northern supremacist, segregationists in the South and J.P. Morgan & Co.

For more information about the lecture, please call (706) 272-4469.
