SAC Lectures Presents: Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour. Listen to guest speaker W. Kamau Bell move his audience through stories about Racism at 7 PM in the PSU Theater.
“The Curve is a comedic exploration of the current state of America’s racism, combined with a little (unknown) history, a little Powerpoint, and a whole bunch of Kamau. And because racism is always attacking in new ways and from new angles, Kamau attacks back by constantly adding new material. The Curve is a seamless mix of stand-up comedy, video and audio clips, personal stories and solo theatrical performance.” – http://www.wkamaubell.com/
