Date:
Monday, March 8, 2021 - 2:30pmIt’s time to rethink everything you think you know about American history.
Join ParentMap and The Who We Are Project Founder Jeffery Robinson for a groundbreaking discussion on the history of anti-Black racism in the United States. In his talk, Robinson will explore the enduring legacy of racism and our collective responsibility to overcome it.
Robinson will deliver his powerful presentation, which will be followed by a live Q&A discussion with educators, legislators and change-makers in attendance from around the state. Our hope is to bring these decision-makers together to share valuable insights about how we can all do better to end systemic racism and its impacts right here in Washington.
We know you’re busy, but in the wise words of Malcolm X, “We can’t teach what we don’t know, and we can’t lead where we won’t go.” So, we’re going there. The day will be a chance to convene as community leaders and work for change. We hope you’ll join us.
If you can’t attend the live event, you can still participate! After the event concludes, all registered attendees will be emailed a link to watch the recorded session at their convenience. By joining in the live event, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in an interactive Q&A with the speaker.
