Join us at the Central Library for the opening reception of "World on the Move: 250,000 Years of Human Migration!" Explore the exhibit, enjoy light refreshments, and gain a deeper understanding of the impact of migration throughout history.
After you’ve had a chance to view the exhibit, please stop by the DeBakey Room for a thought-provoking presentation by Dr. Cheek, Dean of the School of Arts and Sciences at SOWELA Technical Community College. This presentation will begin at 6:00 PM. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with history, culture, and the important conversation surrounding migration.

Developed as a public education initiative, World on the Move: 250,000 Years of Human Migration™, aims to change the public conversation about an important, yet difficult topic—migration and displacement.
