In honor of Juneteenth, a day commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States, Clark will host an event titled “ ‘This Was Not a Riot:’ History, Memory and the Bombing of Black Wall Street.” The event will feature a viewing of the documentary film “Blood on Black Wall Street” followed by a guided conversation led by Professor Ousmane Power Greene.
