VISION
Antiracism activation is tied to generational leadership and influence
The virtual experience, First Annual Antiracism Activation Summit 2023, is created for the express purpose of highlighting work currently being done by individuals, entrepreneurs, organizations, businesses, and educators whose antiracism activation work originated, was enhanced by, or expanded in response to the culminating moment of the murder of George Floyd. Fifteen featured speakers come together to share their origin story of how they stand with George Floyd posthumously to fulfill his dream and purpose to change the world.
“The picture that emerged from the series and our subsequent year of reporting is that of a man facing extraordinary struggles with hope and optimism, a man who managed to do in death what he so desperately wanted to achieve in life: change the world.”
His Name Is George Floyd: One Man’s Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice by Robert Samuels and Toluse Olorunnipa
