A Farewell-to-Hobbs Summer Screening

Yeah, sadly, you read that right---

Our own William Ashanti Hobbs is "taking his talents to South Beach," as he's accepted a faculty position at Florida Memorial University. He'll begin this fall, so that means the last time we'll have this good brother around our table is during our annual Black Men Read?! Summer Screening. So I hope you can make it.

On Saturday, July 23rd, in the new screening room in the Business School at the University of Richmond, we'll screen and then discuss Night Catches Us, a critically acclaimed independent black film starring Anthony Mackie and Kerry Washington---and featuring a score by the Roots. (I haven't seen it, by the way, and will view it for the first time along with you guys; I've been looking forward to it for a long time.)

The film's 90 minutes long, so we'll meet this time an hour earlier at 4 PM, watch the film, and then begin to discuss it at 5:30. The usual hangout is in play afterwards for any who can make it.

As is always the case, our wives are welcome for the Summer Screening, but even if you BOTH can't come, I hope any of you brothers who're in town will come out to bid best wishes to our boy---

easy,

B.
