Wednesday, February 5 2025, 12:30 - 1:30pm 221 LeConte Hall Join us for a talk by Andre Barnes, HBCU Engagement Director for NumbersUSA, on "Humanitarian Dilemmas in Immigration Policies". Do we diminish our discussions about immigration to just sensationalism and soundbites? What can the numbers tell us about immigration? The numbers will expose that many stories are not being told and the discussion about immigration policy has become one dimensional. Even history about immigration has highlighted some aspects and blotted out others. During this presentation we will dive into the ethical, historical, and contemporary views of immigration moderation and the impact on African Americans. Andre Barnes is the HBCU Engagement Director for NumbersUSA. Barnes obtained a Bachelor of Arts in African American Studies from the University of Virginia and a Master in Education with a concentration on early childhood from Moreland University. He is the father of four and lives in Woodbridge, Virginia with his wife of 13 years. Barnes has been featured on Fox News, completed a week-long tour of the Texas border with the Center of Immigration studies, and travels across the United States to discuss mass immigration policy with students and community members. Pizza will be served to attendees. Free and open to the public. A presentation of Black History Month. flyer for presentation by Andre Barnes Feb 5, 12:30 pm (205.87 KB)
