His speeches and books both provide some of the most significant commentary on modern
social and intellectual thought today, interwoven with a combination of cultural criticism,
race theory, religion, philosophical reflection, and gender studies. Dyson is a speaker
who will never bore audiences; his presentations are thought-provoking, unwavering and
foster social change. His excitement on the topics he speaks onracial profiling and its
impact on black America, the sociology of hip hop, and Dr. King for the 21st Century,
among othersis contagious.
Dr. Dyson bridges gaps between generations, connecting civil rights identity to hip-hop
culture, while forging links between older and younger Americans, especially black
Americans. As a cutting edge historian, he educates the general public on the significance
of hip hop, not only in understanding the black community, but general American culture,
as well. With his powerful voice, Dyson reaches beyond race, addressing the universal
commonality of American concern.

Jury Power
Serving effectively on a jury is one of the most powerful acts citizens perform. In elections
we vote for individuals to represent us, as jurists we vote to determine justice for specific
individuals our neighbors and fellow citizens.
The program will include an educational component, an enactment of a jury room, ample
time for questions and answers, and a call to action.

Wave the Win Flag!
Sports are often times metaphors of life. There is
no greater example than the Northside baseball
team experiencing huge, unexpected success as
part of its major rebuilding program designed to
one day compete and win that elusive World Series
Championship, a feat not seen since 1908.
Earlier this year, you may recall the Endeleo Institute honored
the first African American Vice-President of Communications
for the Chicago Cubs, Mr. Julian Green. Julian was the keynote
speaker at our Historically Black College Fair Reception. As an
Alabama A & M University graduate, he humbly reminisced
about all those who helped him along the way and the
shoulders on which he now stands.
It is quite gratifying to see an African American man matriculate and graduate from one
of our HBCUs. It is the reason Endeleo works tirelessly to expose young people, who
otherwise would not have the opportunity, to historic campuses and interaction with
students that look like them. They learn a college education is, by all means, possible for
them as well. This is why we do what we do.
Life lesson: Play the game the right way and good things will happen.
Huge congratulations to Julian and Cubs Nation!
