Join us on Tuesday evening, October 18 as we welcome Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of the New York Times’ 1619 Project, Nikole Hannah-Jones, together with WBEZ’s Natalie Moore, for Fourth Presbyterian Church’s 2022 Michigan Avenue Forum, “The 1619 Project Revisited: Race, History, and the Future,” moderated by D. Bradford Hunt, Professor and Chair in the Department of History at Loyola University.
Our speakers will explore and reflect on the reactions to and examine the backlash and positive developments since the publication of The 1619 Project. They will also discuss the importance of playing a leadership role in creating awareness and dismantling systems of oppression to rebuild a new transparent and equitable order.
The Forum will take place in the Sanctuary on Tuesday, October 18 at 7:00 p.m. and will also be livestreamed on our YouTube channel (www.bit.ly/fpcvideos).
