*First Friday happens RAIN OR SHINE. Even if it rains, the rain almost never lasts the whole evening...so come on out!

Join Eleanor Whitte as she shares her journey as a pioneering African American engineer, inventor, and motivational speaker. A Thomas County native, Whitte spent 35 years with Xerox Corporation, rising to serve as a Project Lead System Engineer and becoming a named inventor on a 1990 U.S. patent.

Whitte broke barriers in a field where few Black women were represented, building a legacy of perseverance, innovation, and leadership throughout her career. Her story reflects both the challenges and opportunities faced by African American women in science and engineering during the twentieth century. This program, sponsored by the Jack Hadley Black History Museum, celebrates a Thomas County trailblazer whose accomplishments reached far beyond our community.

Against this backdrop, the International Human Rights and the Death Penalty Symposium will convene an exceptional group of globally recognized scholars, practitioners, and policymakers at Florida State University College of Law.

Bringing together leading voices on this topic from across the world, the symposium will examine capital punishment through an international human rights lens.

Distinguished speakers include Sister Helen Prejean; Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, former President of Mongolia; Mario Marazziti, former deputy in Italy's Camera dei Deputati; Mark Olive, a nationally recognized death penalty litigation expert; Professor Corinna Barrett Lain, University of Richmond School of Law; Professor William Schabas, Middlesex University, London; Robin Maher, Executive Director of the Death Penalty Information Center, with more to come.

We hope you will join us for this important and globally informed discussion.
