Join Us for Homecoming!

The KSU History Department invites you back to campus Friday, Sept. 30, at 9:30 a.m. for a special Homecoming event entitled, "Race, Religion and Rights: Reflections on a Post-Roe World." The recent Supreme Court decision nullifying the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion has changed the social and political landscape, and the history department has organized a symposium to provide informed discussion on this topic, with an eye toward understanding some of the complicated histories that led to this moment.
