Online – 2020 Black New England Conference
September 25, 2020 @ 9:00 AM - September 26, 2020 @ 5:00 PM
14th Annual Black New England Conference:
BLACK WOMEN ROCK:
Leading the Charge for Social and Political Change
A Virtual Conference
Conference Keynote Addresses & Special Guest Presentations by:
Sheryl Lee Ralph, Susan Taylor, Ayanna Pressley & Andrea Jenkins
As artists and activists, politicians and pundits, Black women continue to stand on the front line and lead the charge for social and political change. From Sojourner Truth calling for the abolition of slavery and for women’s rights, to Tarana Burke coining “Me Too” in 2006, Black women have played a vital role in the political and social (re)formation of the United States, even as their leadership and activism has often been eclipsed and erased.
The 2020 Black New England Conference will celebrate, examine, and make visible Black women’s leadership and activism in fights for political and social change. We will consider Black women’s leadership and activism in a variety of social and political arenas—the classroom, the courtroom, business and economics, technology, the environment, the arts, religion, government, and others.
