with Lorenz J. Finison
Thursday, September 23, 2010

Learn about Kittie Knox, a seamstress who won prizes for her cycling costumes and who challenged the League of American Wheelmen’s “color bar” and about Robert Teamoh, the Boston newspaper writer and photographer, and state legislator, who obtained a legislative resolution denouncing the “color bar. “ Also hear about the Bicycle Corps of Company L, Sixth Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Militia and its place in Beacon Hill history.
Lorenz Finison currently teaches program and policy evaluation in the Doctor of Public Health program at BU School of Public Health. He is Principal of SigmaWorks, a consulting firm specializing in health, education and workforce assessment, planning and evaluation.
