General Events

Diversity & Social Justice Education and the University YMCA invite you to join us for our weekly Lunch on Us series featuring Keith Knight – rapper, social activist, father and educator. He is also one of the funniest and most highly regarded cartoonists in America. For nearly three decades, this multi-award-winning artist has brought the funny back to the funny pages with a uniquely personal style that’s a cross between Calvin & Hobbes, MAD, and underground comix. Keith Knight is part of a generation of African-American artists who were raised on hip-hop, infusing their work with urgency, edge, humor, satire, politics and race. His art has appeared in various publications worldwide, including the Washington Post, the New Yorker, San Francisco Chronicle, the Nib, Ebony, ESPN the Magazine, MAD Magazine, and the Funny Times. Free lunch will be provided!
