Fall 2006: Dr. William "Sandy" Darity Jr.

Monday October 16th
6:00 p.m., Pennsylvania Hall Lyceum

"How it all began:
The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade
and the Origins of Under-Development"

The Speaker for the inaugural lecture was Dr. William Darity Jr.  Dr. Darity, one of the country's leading economists, spoke on the economic history of slavery in the Americas and its relationship to under-development in Africa. We are grateful that Dr. Darity presented this first Memorial lecture, as he not only knew Dr. Derrick Gondwe personally but his work honors Derrick's memory and life work by connecting intellectual endeavor with ongoing efforts to improve the life chances and experiences of people of African descent.
