It is a distinct honor to announce our keynote address will be delivered by a marvel of Brandeis love, a human embassy of courage, “intelligentsia un gratis” and a living legend of our University family, Brandeis’ first Black Male graduate, Mr. Herman Hemingway.  The evening will be hosted by Chad Williams, Ph.D., Chair of the African and Afro-American Studies Department.
