This Week at the ICRCM

Eat Healthy, Feel Great

Saturday Children’s Story Hour

Saturday, May 19 at 11:00 a.m.

Geissler Baker, North Carolina Extension consumer science educator, reads Eat Healthy, Feel Great by William Sears, Martha Sears, and Christie Watts Kelly. Using a “traffic light” approach to help children identify nutritious eating choices, we learn about “green light,” “yellow light,” and “red light” foods. With quick and easy recipes for children to follow, we learn that the journey towards eating healthy and feeling great can be rewarding and fun. (Along the way, we do not even miss the food pyramid.)  


Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease and the African American Community

Saturday, May 19 at 3:00 p.m.

The Alzheimer’s Association indicates that African Americans are at a higher risk for senile dementia than any other ethnic group in the United States. Why does this disparity exist? What is its impact on the black community? What resources are available to support family caregivers? And is the community mobilizing to address the social and political concerns raised in these questions? Our panel of experts include: Rosalyn Lang, Ph.D., director, Office of Educational Outreach, Department of Biology, North Carolina A&T State University; Cheryl Oliver, retired public school administrator and author of Breakfast with Bubby: Laughing and Crying through Alzheimer’s Disease; and Scott Herrick, program associate, Alzheimer’s Association, Western Carolina Chapter.

Saturdays, May 19, 1:00 p.m.– 5:00 p.m. (Continuous screenings)

Journey across the Atlantic Ocean with journalist and filmmaker Tony Regusters as we witness the special events and celebrations that are part of the first visit by the United States of America’s first black president to a nation on the continent of Africa. 



A message to our generous supporters.

We opened our doors on February 1, 2010—two years ago.

In fact, through ICRCM, we link Greensboro to the world. We thank you for standing beside us, boosting our morale, and providing much needed financial support. And we ask that you continue this journey with us in the coming months and years.

We invite you to commit to furthering democracy and freedom through the work of the ICRCM. Before the end of 2011, please donate to show your endorsement of ICRCM’s efforts in your community.
