The second day of the Symposium also features a conversation with many scholars moderated by our very own

Panelists will reflect on how local efforts (within schools, neighborhoods, cultural institutions, and movements) intersect with national struggles for racial justice, democracy, and liberation. Together, they will consider critical questions: What does it mean to produce and protect liberatory knowledge today? How do communities sustain healing while confronting harm? And how can local action inform national transformation?

This conversation invites participants to engage Du Bois’s enduring call for truth-telling, moral clarity, and collective responsibility as tools for building a more just and equitable future.

We look forward to seeing you there!

❄️ Snow day = ovens on, stress off ❄️

While the snow came down, we turned the kitchen into a full-on baking lab. Cookies, cinnamon rolls, music, laughter, and a whole lot of joy shared with our community.

This was about slowing down, warming up, and enjoying each other’s company. No rush. No pressure. Just good food and good people.

Days like this remind us why community matters. 🧁🤍
