Mar 17, 2009
6:00-9:00pm
Hue-Man Bookstore & Cafe
2319 Frederick Douglass Blvd
New York, NY

RSVP for this event at http://ipcrolandlaird.eventbrite.com/ 

With his wife Taneshia, Roland Laird (Brown '82) co-authored "Still I Rise: A Graphic History of African Americans", a critically acclaimed work with an impressive scope: the entire history of Black America told in an accessible 216 page graphic-novel form. Originally published in 1997, it was recently updated and now extends from the arrival of the first Africans in 1619 right through to Senator Barack Obama's groundbreaking presidential campaign. Compared by many to Art Spiegelman's Maus, "Still I Rise" is a breathtaking achievement that celebrates the collective African-American memory, imagination, and spirit and the book has been embraced by colleges and schools throughout the country. "Still I Rise" was re-released on February 3, 2009.

About the Author: Roland Laird is a critically acclaimed author with a passion for his culture and his community. In October 2008, at the height of the U.S. financial crisis, Roland left his position as a VP of Technology at a wholly-owned subsidiary of a Global Fortune 100 company to grow his near 20-year-old side business Posro Media into the country's leading convergent entertainment company specializing in African American culture. Roland also co-founded the New York chapter of Brown University's Inman Page Black Alumni Council in 2005.

"Yes We Did" - The IPC Inaugural Celebration
Jan 18, 2009
4:00 - 7:30pm
Lounge 201
202-544-5201
201 Massachusetts Ave. NE
Washington, DC

As you probably know, IPC is hosting an Inaugural Celebration in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, January 18. We are pleasantly surprised at the overwhelming number of RSVPs we have received for this event.

IPC allocated a portion of our annual budget to pay for this important event and will recoup some of the costs from ticket donations. Due to the enormous alumni response to the “Yes We Did” Celebration, IPC had to secure more space at the venue and will incur added charges for each additional event attendee. Those additional charges mean that we far exceed the amount we originally budgeted.

Rather than view this as a problem, we see it as a testament to the passion of the Black alumni of Brown University to participate in celebration of this historical event in Washington, D.C. and a desire to share this experience with each other. So we want to take a part from the highly successful Obama campaign and ask you each to play a part in helping us to make this event a success by making a donation to help reduce the cost of this IPC event. We are requesting a contribution of $25, but any amount smaller or larger will be greatly appreciated.

Each person who donates will be recognized by name as a “Supporter” at the event and also on our website. It’s a small way for you to share in the Inaugural Celebration, even if you are unable to attend.

Your donation will help IPC fulfill its mission to strengthen Brown University by directly addressing the needs and concerns of its Black alumni and establishing a productive interaction among Black alumni, students, faculty and staff.

To make a donation, please click here or on the PayPal button at the top of this event listing. 

If you would like to donate an amount other than $25, please send us an e-mail at contact@inmanpagecouncil.com with your donation amount and we will e-mail you a special link to donate.

Thank you very much for your continuing support of IPC!
