Celebrating Black Scientists Part 2

Join us for Part 2 of our Celebrating Black Scientists series with the honorable Dr. Runoko Rashidi returns to WorldBeat Center this Saturday, February 20th. Runoko Rashidi is an anthropologist and historian with a major focus on what he calls the Global African Presence.

We'll be live on Facebook and YouTube from 7-8:30PM

Part 2 will feature an exclusive single release of "Plant Whispers" by Chico Freeman, Avery Sharpe and Jamie Shadowlight.

WorldBeat Cultural Center chose to present Black Scientists because we want more African- Americans and people of color represented in the sciences. As African-Americans, we do not have Our story accurately written in history books and there is an awareness and light coming through the cracks and to know the truth of our ancestors will set us all free. It's important that our children know of our ancestors' contributions. They should know that we had great mathematicians, botanists, biologists, chemists, scientists, and inventors. This is why we are so excited about Ronoko Rashi's return for a virtual presentation on Black Scientists.
