The Black Student Union and the Omicron Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated and will host their second installment of the N-Word Forum on Wednesday, March 16, at 7 p.m. in the McBride Gathering Space of the Numen Lumen Pavilion.
Last school year the Black Student Union and the Omicron Espilon chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated hosted the inaugural N-Word Forum. The two groups recongized the racial issues that existed both on and off campus, especially in regards to the n-word, and saw an opportunity to address it. With an unprecented amount of participation from the Elon community at last year’s forum, BSU and AKA are back with a second installment of the event!
Next Wednesday, March 16 at 7 p.m. in the McBride Gathering Space, The N-Word Forum Part II will be held. This year’s program serves as an interactive and open dialogue, diving in to the placement of the n-word within society and exploring the unanswered question: “Who can use the word and who cannot?” Participants will have an opportunity to engage in discussions, while also take action.
The N-Word Forum Part II is open to all members of the Elon community, and all those in attendance are encouraged to bring an open mind, respect, and a willingness to engage in a tough conversation.
