Ask the Author with Dr. Summer Cherland
Live Presentation via Zoom
Virtual Screening Room
Monday, Jul 11, 2022 7:00 PM
Arizona / Mountain Standard Time
Join us on July 11 for a FREE virtual program as recent Journal of Arizona History author Summer Cherland will discuss higher education in South Phoenix, an area that has often been stereotyped and misunderstood. Despite an explosion of college enrollment after World War II, South Phoenix was consistently ignored by county officials and people in other parts of the Phoenix metro area. Cherland recounts the struggle by South Phoenix activists to establish a college “down there” and to improve the lives of the South Phoenix community.
This program is the fourth in our eight-part “Ask the Author” series, funded in part by an Arizona Humanities grant.
