Sheffield’s presentation – Ohio Wesleyan’s 2020 Butler A. Jones Lecture on Race and Society – will begin at 7 p.m. Oct. 28. Reservations are required for the virtual event at owu.edu/ButlerJonesLecture.

Ohio Wesleyan’s Department of Sociology and Anthropology established the annual Butler A. Jones Lectureship on Race and Society in 1995 in honor of Jones, Ph.D., a former sociology/anthropology faculty member. In contributing to the quest for equality among races, Jones submitted 10 briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court in cases involving equal treatment of all citizens.
