Zacarias will talk about her experiences as a "Si Se Puede activist" and will focus on how to create better communities. She has been part of the audience of The Leonardo Dorantes Lecture for more than seven years.
"I think is important to understand that we have a share in the world that we create, to consider ourselves as people with power who can make a difference whatever the background." Zacarias said. "Racism and prejudice plays out through oppression. Racism is destructive and continues to destroy communities and many of the possibilities that I try to create."
Zacarias said she is incredibly delighted to be given the opportunity to be part of the Dorantes Lecture Series.
"I'm blessed to have the opportunity to speak to the leaders of tomorrow, in fact, in many cases the leaders of today," said Zacarias.
The Memorial Lecture is free and open to all members of City College and the community. It will be held Thursday, Nov. 8 at 12:45 p.m. in the Garvin Theater on West Campus, immediately followed by a reception.
