Racism in the U.S., tragically evidenced by the killings of Black men and women at the hands of police and reflected in the disparate impact of Covid-19 on people of color, should be addressed as a fundamental issue of human rights. But does it also threaten national security? Can empowered civic engagement through revitalized civics education play a role in addressing it?
Please join us on July 2nd (4:00-5:15pm EST) for the second part of this two-part conversation: "The Role of Civics in Addressing Racial Injustice."
This panel will discuss how civics and civic engagement can help address societal inequities and build societal resilience needed for addressing ongoing threats to our national security. This panel will include the following experts from the civics and national security communities:
Danielle Allen, Director of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at Harvard
Shawn Healy, Democracy Program Director at the Robert R. McCormick Foundation
Amber Coleman-Mortley, Director of Social Engagement at iCivics
Andrew Wilkes, Senior Director of Policy Advocacy at Generation Citizen
Suzanne Spaulding (moderator), Director of the Defending Democratic Institutions Project at CSIS
