The spring session of the ACE MV adult education program begins Monday, March 8, International Women’s Day, with a free seminar, Women and the African Diaspora, commemorating black history and women’s history months.

Instructor Shari Geisfeld will share her knowledge as an historian and teacher who has studied inequalities in the trans-Atlantic world from colonial times to the present. The event is free and open to the public. It is cosponsored by Young Brothers to Men as a benefit for Haiti, and by the Chaska Hill Women’s Cooperative of Peru as a benefit for flood victims.

Spring classes begin March 9. The catalog of courses, with registration forms and detailed information are available online at acemv.org.
