Leo Louis II, human, community organizer and board president of the Malcom X Memorial Foundation, will present his talk, "Stay Safe: The Definition of Cultural Insecurity in Black America," as a part of Black History Month today at noon via Zoom<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Louis’ lecture will define the concept of “cultural insecurity,” offering life-changing insights into the "Black" experience in America. Not offering your typical conversation about race, Louis brings a thoughtful perspective that resonates with the common experience of ALL “Americans.” “Stay Safe” renews faith in the race dialogue without shame or guilt, bringing a simple yet eye-opening truth. <\/p>\n

Louis is an Omaha native who has experience in various disciplines, including gang intervention, urban farming, entrepreneurship, public speaking, fatherhood and more.<\/p>\n
