Perseverance, programming was designed by our panelists tonight so that we could tell the whole story of our 18th century community. Blending social history with public history to tell the africanamerican story had never been done before. And quite literally they were making history. This is the first of three panelist discussions that were going to have this year, and i would welcome you to come back on july 5th where we will look at current programming that focuses on africanamerican stories and also on october 18th where we will be focusing on the future and our panelists at that discussion will help us think about how do we continue to tell the story for, as mitchell said, it really is all of our story. I know our panelists well, and they have plenty to share with us. So please let me begin the evening by introducing our moderator. He began his career here as a junior interpreter and then became an active interpreter and manager and also a program developer. If you would join me in
