Boston, Mass. – Experts in diversity, equity, and inclusion-generating solutions to racial discrimination and racial hatred will explore realities of bias during a bilateral symposium Friday, February 4, 2022, via the Zoom meeting platform.
The two-hour dialogue addressing the question “Do We Still Need Black History Month?” starts at 11:00 am EST in the United States (10:00 am CST; 8:00 am PST; 4:00 pm GMT in the United Kingdom and Wales).
More than 200 multicultural and diversity professionals, academics, business leaders, and nonprofit leaders in the U.S. and the United Kingdom will participate in recognition of Black History Month in the United States and its founder, Black historian, and scholar, Carter G. Woodson.
Founded by Carole Copeland Thomas of the Multicultural Symposium Series of Greater Boston, Massachusetts (US) -- with lawyer and entrepreneur Garth Dallas (Liverpool, England), and William (Bill) W. Wells, Jr., a Minneapolis-based diversity and business consultant -- Friday’s Summit features keynote speaker Leroy David Nunery II, Ed.D., president of Evolution Advisors, LLC, who is a past national president of the National Black MBA Association, Inc.
According to US & UK Summit co-founder Carole Copeland Thomas, the value of this Summit is “to share realities of race in the US and in the United Kingdom and to educate the public about the history of Black and Brown people in both countries.
“The impact of George Floyd’s death moved us to launch the US & UK Summit on Race and continues to strengthen our focus on racial justice going forward,” she added. Friday’s event is the fourth in a series of virtual summits since May 2021.
Panelists include Thelma Hart Jackson, Ed.D., current president of the Martha’s Vineyard Chapter of the Association for the Study of American Life and History (ASALH), which was founded by historian Carter G. Woodson; Lorna Andrade, Ph.D, a nurse educator and healthcare adviser based in Massachusetts; and Stephen Paul Delsol, Ph.D., an international education consultant based and social justice advocate based in the United Kingdom.
