Francis Bok Event Cancelled due to Weather
It is with our deepest regret that we are having to cancel tonight's presentation on slavery featuring Mr. Francis Bok. Due to the inclement weather Denver has been experiencing, the campus of the University of Denver is closed, and therefore we do not have the venue for our event. We will be bringing Mr. Bok back to Denver in the future in order to hold the presentation at a later point in time. Please keep following our website and join our mailing list in order to receive updates as to when Mr. Bok will be back in Denver.
