Event video and photographs of the Joe White Legacy Lecture now available for you !!!
The Inaugural Lecture to memorialize Dr. Joseph L. White’s life-long contributions to the field of psychology, his pioneering role establishing ethnic studies in the U.S., and as the founder of the CSULB Educational Opportunities Program (EOP) was an amazing success with about 100 of his colleagues, family members, faculty and students in attendance.
As one of his closest disciples, Dr. Michael Connor delivered the Inaugural Lecture to celebrate Dr. White’s legacy and shared his teachings as the “Father of Black Psychology”, how he promoted the need for non-traditional treatment and understanding of ethnic minorities in mental health practices and how EOP has become a model replicated throughout California and the United States, allowing several generations of low-income students of color to graduate from public and private colleges and universities.
Professor Armando Vazquez-Ramos pledged to continue to coordinate the annual lecture and pursue the goals of the Joseph L. White Legacy Project initiated in 2018 with many prominent EOP graduates, and to build upon the collaboration with the other co-sponsors of the event. These included the CSULB Psychology and Chicano & Latino Studies department, EOP and ASI.
The CMSC is proud to present this short documentary of the event, produced to continue documenting the project’s evolution and forthcoming 2020 plans.
