Lunchtime Lecture : “The Impact of the Loss of Denver Smith: A Community Conversation”

The West Baton Rouge Museum invites all to attend a discussion led by Denver Terrance of the Denver Smith Foundation. Smith was a student of Southern University who grew up in New Roads, who was killed needlessly during a peaceful protest on Southern's campus on November 16, 1972. Panelists will share their perspectives on the way his death impacted their lives, and about how the nonprofit organization The Denver Smith Foundation was established in 2019 with the purpose of honoring his life and legacy with educational opportunities and resources for students from vulnerable populations. Noon.
