Fellow parents,

The Parents of Black Students has just scheduled an amazing new event that
is open to the entire Sidwell Community.  Here is the announcement:

Please join us for a gathering with *NPR Science Reporter Shankar Vedantam*,
author of *The Hidden Brain: How Our Unconscious Minds Elect Presidents,
Control Markets, Wage Wars and Save Our Lives*.

Vedantam will address the Sidwell Friends School community and answer
questions on *Monday, October 27th *from *7 to 9 pm* in the *Robert L.
Smith Meeting Room.*

*The Hidden Brain* explores how unconscious biases influence people. The
fascinating topics that Mr. Vedantam studies and reports on touch many of
the values and principles embraced by the students, parents and faculty in
the Sidwell community, and he is an ideal person to lead a discussion on
human behavior from a scientific point of view.

This event is sponsored by the Parents of Black Students and open to the
entire Sidwell Community. Anyone wishing to submit questions to help shape
the discussion to Mr. Vedantam, should please forward them to
