Columbia University and Howard University Debate Gun Control and Stop and Frisk…

Columbia University and Howard University Face off over Gun Control and Stop and Frisk...

Come bear witness as the country’s sharpest young minds—from two of the nation’s most eminent universities—verbally joust over the Stop-and-Frisk and Gun Control laws in a thought-provoking contest of intellect and wit in the NAACP’s 5th Annual Great Debate.

The mental action featuring drama, humor and monumental insights on two of the greatest issues of our time will keep spectators riveted and on the edge of their seats. There will be an opportunity to meet and mingle with the participants and some of the city’s top civic leaders prior to the main event.

The Debate, hosted by the NAACP-New York State Conference and led by President, Hazel N. Dukes and sponsored by Starbucks Coffee, is part of a series, which brings together highly acclaimed debate teams from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s) to compete against their Ivy League counterparts.  The first debate was held at Woolsey Hall on Yale University’s campus where students from Howard University and Yale went head to head as they demonstrated their oral prowess.

Charles A. Williams, III MGCOD, Ph.D., a nationally known educator, a Stoneleigh Fellow and Professor of Psychology and Education at Drexel University will moderate Saturday’s debate.

This is the first year that the debate is being held in New York City.

Saturday, March 2nd, 3:30 p.m

 

Harlem’s historical First Corinthian Baptist Church, 1912 Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd.
