AAAC Social Justice Talk

In an era where fundamental rights face significant challenges, and the fabric of diversity, equity, and inclusion is under strain, the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice African American Alumni Committee invites you to the 2025 AAAC Social Justice Talk, a vital 1.5-hour event addressing urgent racial and social justice issues. 

A distinguished panel of alums, practitioners, advocates, and faculty will engage in meaningful dialogue about critical topics, including: 

• The implications of the Supreme Court's affirmative action decision on African American education, employment, and economic mobility. 
• The impact of recent state legislation on access to essential healthcare, including reproductive and gender-affirming care. 
• The efforts to reshape racial and cultural identity narratives in education and public discourse.
• Strategies to combat historical disinformation, particularly regarding slavery's impact in the U.S.
• Innovative approaches to protect and advance marginalized communities' rights. 

This event not only offers a platform for discussion but encourages participation through an interactive Q&A. Your voice will be integral to advancing racial and social justice and shaping a more equitable future for all.
