On Thursday, March 31, join Des Moines Register columnist Kyle Munson and Drake Professor Carol Spaulding-Kruse at the Science Center of Iowa for a dialogue that tackles issues addressed both in the museum’s current traveling national RACE exhibit (ending in early April) and in this new series of public forums, #UniteIowa. We’ll be joined by an expert from the Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C. (Jens Manuel Krogstad Ortiz) in a world cafe-style dialogue format. Come ready to dive into some of the latest racial data and for open, honest conversation with your fellow Iowans.

Starting at 5 p.m. that day, the Science Center of Iowa’s RACE exhibit will be available to view for all Drake students for a special discounted admission ($9 with Drake Card) immediately prior to the forum. Please allow at least an hour. Snacks will be available between 6 and 7 p.m., with a dialogue start time of 7 p.m.
