 Acclaimed Author and Journalist Herb Boyd
Will Broach the Subject in a Special Address

In the wake of Charlottesville, communities across the nation are reevaluating memorials and the history that they represent. On the occasion of the its fifth anniversary, the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice at Brown University (CSSJ) will be organizing the conference: Race, Memory, and Memorialization. 

This conference, taking place May 4 through May 5, will examine the activism behind the Southern Freedom Movement and critically question the way the Civil Rights Movement has been represented through memorials and exhibitions.
