University Park, Pa. — Will Coleman, CEO/President of BT Forum, theologian and minister, will speak on "Living with Ancestral Memory and Prophetic Vision: A Study of the Values Formation and Transformative Powers of African American Religion and Culture" on Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 7:30 p.m. in HUB-Robeson Center Heritage Hall. The event is sponsored by The Center for Ethics and Religious Affairs.

Coleman is author of many books, including "Tribal Talk: Black Theology, Hermeneutics, and African/American Ways of 'Telling the Story,'" published by Penn State Press.
