Noon – 12:50 p.m., Bulmer Telecommunications Center Auditorium
Immigration, refugees and terrorism are vying with the economy as the biggest issues of the current presidential election. In the view of some, candidates have staked out positions that are racist and anti-American.

Rosemary Armao, journalism professor at SUNY Albany and commentator on WAMC Public Radio, addresses these issues and more. Presented by Voices: A Library Lecture Series.
