The lecture will begin at 11:55am followed by Dr. Felder's book signing. Mark your calendars and plan to join us on Seminary Ridge that day. In a landmark year of African American leadership breaking through the remarkable barriers of the US presidency, this will be a presentation not to miss.

BISC also serves prisons and half-way houses, and collaborates with local churches and campus ministries.
