The overwhelmingly peaceful protests for equality, justice, freedom, respect and dignity for Black people are going on throughout the world and have led to a few nominal victories along the way (removal of Confederate statues, corporation donations to minority led charities, police reform and accountability discussion). Will this lead to more historic institutional change that civil rights leaders like Dr Martin Luther King Jr, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Malcolm X demanded? Is this a seminal and watershed moment in our history that we will remember as a catalyst for widespread social and political change? Why is the Black Lives Matter movement shifting the narrative? Are we experiencing a social change tipping point? What does systemic racism look like in our institutions? How can all humanity be awakened and re-educated to choose community over chaos? Dr. Cornel West drew from his rich life experience in activism, academia and historical context to lead the audience through a passionate hour-long discussion, followed by a 20 minutes Q&A. This was a truly Only-In-YPO experience that will leave you enlightened, energized and hopeful.
