As part of the University of Michigan's MLK Symposium, please join us for a conversation with three prominent scholars of African American political history about possible futures for movements for racial justice and democratic change during the new presidential administration. Jelani Cobb, dean of the Columbia School of Journalism, staff writer for the New Yorker, and MSNBC political commentator, will engage with U-M professors Angela Dillard and Stephen Ward in a discussion of the challenges, and opportunities, facing advocates for Martin Luther King's vision of racial equality and multiracial democracy in the coming years. Lynette Clemetson, journalist and director of U-M's Wallace House Center for Journalists, will serve as moderator for the event.

Presented by the Department of Afroamerican and African Studies, Department of History, Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies, and Wallace House Center for Journalists. Additional support from the Kalt Fund for African American and African History.
