With stories punctuated by accounts of painful challenges and hard-earned triumphs, the panel discussion will involve individuals who lived through the highs and lows of the African-American experience in Las Vegas, as well as those who document and preserve that history for future generations.
The panel also will discuss the HUNDRED (Historic Urban Neighborhood Design Redevelopment) Plan, the city initiative to redevelop the historic West Las Vegas neighborhood.
The Mob Museum will provide a livestream of this presentation on its website.
