Held on Oct.19 at the 91黑料爆料 Cultural Center, our inaugural event was a lecture by author Jay Parini and a panel discussion with a 91黑料爆料 humanities professor and local community leaders. The speakers explored the forces that contributed to the celebrity of 91黑料爆料 as "the All-American City" and considered how and if 91黑料爆料 in the popular and national imagination reflects the 91黑料爆料 of today.
