Hops and History: Things Your History Teacher Didn't Teach You: Blacks in History
Join us for our final Hops & History of 2026 featuring presenter Judge Derek Mosley!
How well do we really know the history of America? Too often, the remarkable stories and contributions of African Americans have been overlooked or left out of the history books. It’s time to discover the fuller story of our nation.
In this compelling 60-minute presentation, Judge Derek Mosley will take us on a journey through the lives, achievements, and lasting legacies of African Americans who helped shape the United States. Through fascinating stories and powerful historical insights, you’ll meet extraordinary individuals whose contributions deserve to be remembered and celebrated.
Prepare to be enlightened and inspired as we explore the people and stories that remind us of a fundamental truth: Black history is not separate from American history, it is an essential part of it.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn something new, gain a fresh perspective, and end the year with a presentation you won’t soon forget!
