Artist Talk: Honoring the Founding of Toussaint L’Ouverture College

Jan. 25, 2024, 5:00 p.m.
Location:

Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center

Join us for a conversation with the newest president of Toussaint L’Ouverture College, the only HBCU in the Northeast, founded 150 years ago in Poughkeepsie. Once a failed initiative and footnote in the long history of educational inequities experienced by young Black men and women, Toussaint L’Ouverture College has come to life in the mind of artist Jean-Marc Superville Sovak, who will moderate this speculative discussion.
