Join us for an engaging virtual event with poet, author and poetry editor for The New Yorker, Kevin Young. Moderated by UC San Diego Foundation Board Trustee and UC San Diego Alumni Board President Kimberley Phillips Boehm ’82, PhD, the discussion will explore Young’s most recent work, “African American Poetry: 250 Years of Struggle and Song.” Young is the newly appointed director of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture; he previously served as director of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the New York Public Library.
