This co-sponsored event is a collaboration between Mount Holyoke College, Spelman College and the Joseph and Evelyn Lowery Institute for Justice and Human Rights.

As we commemorate the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott through the racial justice and reconciliation series, we welcome the creator of The 1619 Project back to Mount Holyoke for an intergenerational conversation engaging the long legacy and history of racism in the United States with a specific emphasis on the new published book developed after the success of the New York Times feature on the origins of enslavement in the United States and abroad.

All are welcome.
