As a supporter of NBGSA programming, you are cordially invited to attend this year’s gathering, which is slated for November 14-16, 2008 at Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania in Bloomsburg, PA. In light of the election of the first Black U.S. President and the myriad challenges and opportunities that currently face the Black community, this year’s conference theme is "The Fierce Urgency of Now: Black Scholars in a Rapidly Changing World." This year’s assembly promises to be bigger and better than ever, and we’d love to include you in the weekend’s festivities!
