*POSTPONED* RIISE & POLLYANNA AUTHOR NIGHT

 

**RIISE & POLLYANNA AUTHOR NIGHT has been postponed. We will update you on rescheduling this anticipated event shortly.

April 11, 2022, 7-8:00PM ET ON ZOOM

Please join us for a conversation with Mark Robinson and Raymond Smaltz, III, who will talk about their book, "Place of Privilege."

The Dalton School is one of the most prestigious prep schools in the nation, recognized globally for its visionary progressive educational philosophy. In the mid-1960s, Dalton reached out to previously unfamiliar communities of color and for the first time actively recruited minority students. Mark and Ray are among the very first young Black men to attend Dalton. “Place Of Privilege” tells the story about what happened to the Black boys placed into this strange new world, without any support system or rules of engagement.

"For today's students and their parents, it's an invaluable guide." ~ Chris Connelly

The Zoom room will open at 6:55PM ET. We will begin at 7:00PM ET and run until 8:00PM ET.

There is no cost to attend this event. If you have any questions, please email Claire at clairehr.pollyanna@gmail.com
