Kareem Abdul Jabbar Lecture

Kareem Abdul Jabbar -- Basketball Hall-of-Famer, Author, Actor, and Humanitarian -- will be speaking at Hopkins on October 28, 2008 as part of the Milton S. Eisenhower Speakers Symposium "A More Perfect Union: Partnership, Progress and Prosperity in a Changing America."

I had no idea he had written so many books:

• A Season on the Reservation
• Black Profiles in Courage
• Brothers in Arms
• Kareem
• On the Shoulders of Giants

Doors will open at 7:30 pm at Shriver Hall on the Homewood Campus and the talk begins at 8:00 pm.

Seating is free and open to the public.

Shriver Hall Auditorium is on the university’s Homewood campus, 3400 N. Charles St., in Baltimore.

A reception in the Clipper Room follows the event.

Visitor parking is available in the South Garage, 3101 Wyman Park Drive, Baltimore, Md. 21211.
