Dr. Lehman Brightman-National President of United Native Americans,Inc, Will have a lecture/ discussion on the trials and tribulations we as First Nations People endured to implement Native American /Indigenous studies on the UC and CSU level.
In 1968 when there was only ten Native American Indians that held a PHD it was to say the least, sum what difficult to persuade a University into Establishing a Native American Studies Program.
When they finally agreed to it, it was up to Dr. Brightman to recruit faculty and the students to make this program a success.
When: Thursday October 8th 2009, 2:10pm-3:25pm.
Where: Cesar Chavez Student Center, San Francisco State University.
