Lewis will discuss Vision & Justice: A Civic Curriculum. Released by Vision & Justice and Aperture, the curriculum includes 31 texts on topics ranging from civic space and memorials to the intersections of race, technology, and justice.

We renew our focus to elevate a platform for artists, scholars, and thinkers identified from the African diaspora to help us live our values in pursuit of a just, compassionate, and equitable learning environment.
