Description
Local Color is a project of the Village Square.
Find the full season of Local Color programs online here.
Join us on Thursday October 18th to kickoff Local Color Year 2 with: “Believe in Something” - Identity, protest, sacrifice, Nike.
The Nike ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick has alternatively inspired and infuriated Americans. Both sides see sacrifice for a greater cause and see themselves standing up for fundamental American values. Both sides embrace their own protest and condemn the other's. Could we be more alike than we’d like to acknowledge? We’ll seek understanding across this national rift.
Appetizers on us, drinks (and additional food) available for your purchase.
Use those daring notions that brought you to this page to bust out a tune (maybe even one from a musical artist with identities different than your own!) to stick around after for karaoke at 7:00!
We are incredibly grateful to be able to present this with on-going support from: The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation through the Community Foundation of North Florida and the National Endowment for the Humanities through the Florida Humanities Council.
