The movement for racial equality is not a moment, it's a movement—a movement built on confronting the systemic racism that has been central throughout American history.

Join us on Wednesday, August 6, 2020 for a Virtual Forum presented by Columbia Professor, Dr. Eric Foner, award-winning author of his definitive work, Reconstruction: America’s Unfinished Revolution.

Welcome!

"Voting is how we participate in a civic society - be it for president, be it for a municipal election. It's the way we teach our children - in school elections - how to be citizens and the importance of their voice." -Loretta Lynch
