Vision & Justice Convenings
The Convening is a core component of Vision & Justice. With past speakers and performers such as Chelsea Clinton, Ava DuVernay, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Wynton Marsalis, Bryan Stevenson, Hank Willis Thomas, Carrie Mae Weems, and Deborah Willis , the pioneering symposiums bring together thought leaders and change makers to examine the intersections of arts, race, and society—and ask how cultural narratives have shaped America’s national identity and sense of belonging.
