Chicago State University’s (CSU’s) Student Government Association (SGA), In Demand Entertainment (IDE) and the Overall Icon House of Infiniti are collaborating to host the 16th annual S.O.S. Ball and the panel discussion “Respect for Equality.”

The event will take place Saturday, Oct. 27, at the university’s Student Union building in the Rotunda at 5 p.m.

The panel discussion will focus on the values, norms and potential of the Black and Brown communities as well as how—in gaining support for LGBT rights—those demographics can secure social, economic and political equality regardless of gender identity, sexuality and religious beliefs.
