Morning panels will cover three broad topics—voting rights in the midst of immoral voter suppression, the global existential crisis of environmental degradation, and reparations for centuries of enslavement and legal punishment. The panels will be followed by a series of advocacy workshops in the afternoon focused on nonviolent direct action, using media for movements, fundraising for social justice campaigns, and how to draft legislation.
This event will celebrate the bold life and continuing legacy of William Monroe Trotter, a Harvard University alumnus who advanced the cause of civil rights and social justice. The convening will to introduce attendees to Trotter's legacy and provide an opportunity for academics, activists and artists to consider how Trotter's radical activism can address critical issues facing us today, and offer opportunities to hear from distinguished professors and practitioners.
