Casey Lartigue, Jr.
Saturday, September 8, 2 - 4 pm FREE
Bethesda Library, 7400 Arlington Rd., Bethesda, MD (near Metro)

Memorandum 46 -- allegedly revealing a sinister government plot to
undermine black leadership in the U.S. and to sow discord with
Africans abroad -- recently gained renewed prominence on black talk
radio. Casey Lartigue will discuss the history of and question the
veracity of the anti-black version of Memorandum 46, and examine why
black activists, politicians, and talk show hosts have been so eager
to believe that the Carter administration concocted such a plot.
Lartigue will also examine other race-based urban legends.
