The panel will engage youth and community leaders in candid, compelling conversations about the ways that race and democracy are being redefined in our national culture. Targeting the hip-hop generation that helped build early support for America’s first Black president, this panel will debate the extent to which young Americans have opened a new chapter in American race relations.

The panel will feature MC Serch, host of The White Rapper Show; Lisa Fager Bediako, founder of Industry Ears, Inc.; Jabari Asim, editor, The Crisis; and special guest Stephanie Robinson, President and CEO of the Jamestown Project and commentator for The Tom Joyner Morning Show.

This event is free and open to the public.
