For Immediate Release:  5 October 2021

Liverpool, England and Boston, Mass. – Experts in diversity, equity and inclusion-generating solutions to racial discrimination and racial hatred will come together for a groundbreaking bilateral US & UK Summit on Race on Friday, 8 October 2021 (via the Zoom meeting platform).  This summit marks Black History Month in the U.K. and Hispanic Heritage Month in the U.S.

The free two-hour summit – showcasing executives from business, government, education and media -- starts at 4:00 p.m. (16:00) in the United Kingdom and Wales, which is 11 a.m. EDT in the United States (10 am CDT; and 8 am PDT).

This virtual dialogue marks October as Black History Month in the United Kingdom and Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States.

Nearly 200 multicultural and diversity professionals, scholars, business leaders and government officials in the United Kingdom and in the United States are expected to participate in this cross cultural, cross-Atlantic bilateral summit via the Zoom platform.

According to Garth Dallas -- a Liverpool-based barrister and the UK coordinator of this one-of-a-kind summit of business executives, scholars/academics, students, nonprofit and charity leaders, plus corporate, elected and appointed officials – participants will “explore solutions to social, political and cultural challenges facing people of color in the UK and in the US.”

Founded by Carole Copeland Thomas of the Multicultural Symposium Series in Boston, Massachusetts (US) – along with Dallas and William (Bill) W. Wells, Jr., a Minneapolis-based diversity and business consultant -- Friday’s summit, which is free, is expected to attract about 200 participants.  They will discuss and work together on solutions to hatred and racial violence on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.

Local UK organizer Garth Dallas points out that the mission of this Summit is “to reach out to advocates in both the UK and the US in order to explore solutions to racial hatred in bilateral ways.”

The October 8 Summit on Race features:
  • An opening video on race produced by the Southampton University Student Union (UK)
  • Keynote address on “Promoting Racial Equity in the Workplace” by Sara Sewell, chief financial officer/global service line of IPSOS.  IPSOS is a multinational market research and consulting firm headquartered in Paris.
  • Panel discussions on building bridges across racial, cultural and ethnic lines featuring Carol Ann Whitehead (UK), Michael Curry (US), Julia Ngadi (UK) and Chase Johnston-Lynch (US & UK). Whitehead is a Global Goodwill Ambassador, Curry is a member of the national board of directors of the NAACP in the U.S., Julia Ngadi is chair of the Black and Global Majority Student Network in the United Kingdom, and Johnston-Lynch is a producer and filmmaker living and working in Liverpool.
        .
