    Join The Franklin Institute for an evening of conversation with actor and Rutgers professor Avery Brooks (the African-American captain of “Deep Space Nine”) and iconic African-American science fiction author and Temple professor Samuel Delany. The two men, known for testing boundaries and barriers within their work, will explore race, science fiction and other themes in a wide-ranging and fascinating dialogue. Programmed as part of The Franklin Institute’s Race and Star Trek exhibits, the event will be moderated by Betty Lawrence.
