Sociology faculty member Cedric Taylor will debut his latest documentary, "A Benton Harbor Story," 6 p.m. Thurs., Oct. 29 in Plachta Auditorium. A fireside chat will follow the film screening. The event is free and open to the public. Sponsored by the Emma Norman Todd Distinguished Lecturer Series and Critical Engagements.
