We will lift up and reflect upon the lives of these champions for justice: Dana Alston, Cecil Corbin-Mark, Hazel Johnson, Patsy Oliver, Gloria Roberts, Damu Smith, Emelda West, and Margaret Williams. To fully appreciate their impact and legacy, we will hear from those in the movement who knew them. Featured speakers will include:
