From opposite ends of the political spectrum, two nationally known political figures will debate America’s future direction next month at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.

The university announced today that Michael Steele, head of the Republican Political Action Committee GOPAC, and former Congressman Harold Ford Jr., chairman of the centrist Democratic Leadership Council, will share a stage Feb. 4.

The event, “Left, Right, and Forward: On the Future of America,” at the University Theater in UALR’s Center for Performing Arts, is sponsored by UALR’s Office of Campus Life. Admission is free and open to the public, but tickets will be required.

The discussion by the two black political combatants kicks off UALR’s annual Black History Month program.
