This event is one of the Center for Equity & Justice's signature annual events honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through meaningful dialogue that inspires reflection, connection, and collective action. Each year, this gathering brings together thought leaders, advocates, and community members to explore contemporary issues of equity and justice.
This year's event will be about “The State of Voting Rights: A Conversation with Professor Melissa Murray"
Our keynote speaker is Professor Melissa Murray is the Frederick I. and Grace Stokes Professor of Law at New York University School of Law. She is also a co-host of the Supreme Court podcast Strict Scrutiny and a legal commentator. She will be in conversation with Dr. Celeste Baldwin, community advocate, physician and recent member of YWCA Greenwich's Board of Directors.
The conversation will include themes from her new book, The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader, which examines the Constitution’s history and its relevance today. Together, we will consider how the Constitution shapes voting rights, individual freedoms, civic participation, and other issues affecting our democracy and communities. This event provides an opportunity to connect with others who share an interest in equity, civic engagement, and strengthening our communities.
Join us for an evening of dialogue, learning, and inspiration as we continue the work of building a more just and connected society.
