LWVOC has a history of presenting solid Hot Topics programs for Black History Month – getting the vote last year; racism in Lake County (featuring Gilbert King, author of “Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys & the Dawn of a New America”) in 2016; civil rights and education since the 1968 MLK Jr. assassination in 2018.
Wednesday’s Hot Topics offered “Black Families: Representation, Identity, Diversity,” featuring moderator Renata Sago, a journalist; Connie Lester, a UCF history professor; and Karen Adamopoulos, president of the local branch of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH).
