As part of our Creative Empowerment Series in partnership with Visit Jackson, we are thrilled to present RACIAL LITERACY FOR THE 21st CENTURY, a special keynote lecture from RUHA BENJAMIN, a Princeton University African-American Studies professor.

In this signature talk, Ruha will put academic scholarship in conversation with the latest headlines to explore how racism distorts our relationships, communitites and institutions. She will also offer a wide-ranging tool kit for what we can do to enact real change.
