On behalf of the Black Student Union of Umass Amherst, we cordially invite
you and your group to our special event featuring guest speaker, BET’s own
Jeff Johnson (Cousin Jeff). Jeff Johnson is a political motivator and
social
commentator speaking to baby boomers and the Hip-Hop generation. BET
introduced The Cousin Jeff Chronicles, a series of true-life documentaries
that deal with current and pertinent issues facing urban communities.
Jeff’s
commitment to fostering communication between the civil rights and hip-hop
generations has been successful as he tours the country speaking at
universities, faith-based organizations and churches.

We want to be sure that you do not miss out on this special event we are
offering to you FREE of charge. Don’t hesitate to spread the word to others
