Community Conversations: Traveling While Disabled

Accompanying the TRAVELING WHILE BLACK installation and Virtual Reality experience, is a series of 8 free “Community Conversations” – moderated discussions exploring both historic and present barriers to full participation faced by Blacks and members of other marginalized communities as they “travel” through everyday life. These are stand-alone events, and one does not have to partake in the VR event to attend these. Come to one or come to them all! 

Traveling While Disabled
with Jacklyn Nagle (Executive Director, Disability Empowerment Center), Dr. Dennis Downey (Professor Emeritus, Millersville University), Katarina Eller (legally blind Orientation & Mobility Specialist, VisionCorps), Suzette Bartholomee (Deaf community representative) 

Moderated by Lenwood Sloan
 
These 7:00 PM FREE events all take place in the Ware Center Salon.
