AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH

Robert Farrell rode a train to Houston as a Freedom Rider and was a Bernie Sanders delegate in Philadelphia in 2016. During the five plus decades between these events he has done much about the civic and political landscape of south Los Angeles as a journalist, 8th District representative on the Los Angeles City Council, and strong advocate of social justice issues.

Join us in a discussion that will be both historic and relevant.
