Ida B. Wells Symposium Keynote -- VISION: America's Tug of War for Racial Equality

The Ida B. Wells Symposium at Columbia University’s School of Journalism began with a keynote from AAPF Executive Director Kimberlé Crenshaw in conversation with journalist and author of The 1619 Project Nikole Hannah-Jones in a panel discussion, VISION: America's Tug of War for Racial Equality, moderated by Errin Haines, editor at large at 19th News. This panel explored the concept of inequality and injustice, asking ourselves: Is America taking steps away from a more equal and just society? Are we going backward? Or is this just the organic ebb and flow on a linear path toward equality?
To kick off the first day of Her Dream Deferred 2024, AAPF broadcasts the recording of the opening keynote for those that were unable to attend in person.
