8/26 Roberto Clemente VIP Experience (Sponsored by AARP)
7:00 PM EST - Much of what is known about Roberto Clemente is centered on his Hall of Fame baseball career, his ethnicity, or his untimely passing while engaged in philanthropic activities. However, little attention is given to the man behind the game. Drawing from the behind-the-scenes book Clemente: The True Legacy of an Undying Hero, authored by Roberto’s late wife Vera alongside his family, this VIP Experience will showcase a conversation with several key individuals in Roberto Clemente’s life, including his sons, Luis and Roberto Jr., as well as Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda. Bestselling Author & Motivational Speaker, Maria Marin, will serve to give a voice to Vera Clemente, who passed in 2019.
Immediately following the conversation, virtual attendees will have their questions answered by Luis Clemente during a live Q & A session. The one-hour event is free. Registration is required for access. Register for free today and receive the Official Clemente Digital Insignia.

Fredericksburg, VA 22401
We are honored to host panelists and artists from Richmond, VA, Rev. Cora Harvey Armstrong and Family (gospel), and from Puerto Rico, Dr. Emanuel Dufrasne González and Taller-Conjunto Paracumbe (bomba).
Come join us and untangle the ancestral stories that are not reflected in many history books. We will expose the history and evolution of our African roots in music and dance, and how we are all connected in our current practices. During this panel discussion and performance we will be exploring the connection between Puerto Rican bomba and African American musical traditions in Virginia, in this case, gospel.
Come ready to ask questions to our panelists, and enjoy live music from our performers.

The program is intended both to encourage non-academic writers to deepen their engagement with the humanities by strengthening the research underlying their books, and to encourage academic writers in the humanities to communicate the significance of their research to the broadest possible range of readers.
