For this year's event, we will be meeting virtually to explore our theme of Black Lives Matter through film, speakers, and sessions.

Dr. Peniel Joseph as our guest speaker. Dr. Joseph holds joint professorship in both the LBJ School of Public Affairs and the History Department in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also the
Barbara Jordan Chair in Ethics and Political Values.
Dr. Josephs career focus has been on "Black Power Studies" and he brings his expertise to UT. While at UT, he became the founding director of the LBJ School's Center for the Study of Race and Democracy.
In addition to his role at the school, Dr. Joseph is an award winning author. His topics often cover issues of race, democrazy, and civil rights. His latest book is
