The Charles Hamilton Houston Institute is happy to announce its annual Martha’s Vineyard summer forum. As usual, the event is free and open to the public. We hope you will be able to join us on Wednesday, August 15th at 11am. (Doors will open at 10am.) The topic for this year’s program is Between the Lines: Race and Gender in Sports in the 21st Century. We will examine the plight of women and men, some who are deceased and others who have retired, who have made a big impact on sports in the last several decades
