Global Day of Conversation
Thursday, April 22ndDuring Lincoln’s Day of Conversation on April 22nd, 2010, we will focus our community’s attention to a variety of environmental issues that are being solved in our community. Our goal is to engage the community in a series of “conversations” throughout the city to talk about these issues with input from experts. On the Day of Celebration, April 24th, we’ll conclude our series of conversations with a keynote speech from Michael Forsberg, a celebrated Lincoln photographer who focuses on the Great Plains.
