Free Lecture Series Co-Sponsored by the City of Chattanooga Office of Multicultural Affairs and the Hunter Museum of Art.

The Office of Multicultural Affairs in conjunction with the Hunter Museum of Art proudly presents the ‘Chattanooga Identity’ Series.  The purpose of this series is to help Chattanoogans define themselves and discuss how they can come together as a community. 

“The ‘Chattanooga Identity’ Series offers our community a way to share our similarities and celebrate our differences,” stated Chattanooga Mayor Ron Littlefield. “Through this unique program, residents will be able to listen to guest lectures and discuss the issues that face us as a progressive city and how we can celebrate our cultural diversity.”
