As part of the 2020 BisonHomecoming festivities based on the theme “Advocacy,” a 3-day virtual conference will be held titled, “From Protest to Policy: The Pursuit of Racial Justice.” ✊🏾 The national conference, which is an expansion of the annual HU Ideas Festival, furthers Howard’s legacy at a pivotal contemporary moment in the history of the United States and the global African diaspora. ✊🏾 “The conference’s theme, “From Protest to Policy: The Pursuit of Racial Justice,” encapsulates all that this moment needs—an awareness of the conditions that created the need for protest, the determination to use the moment to make systemic shifts in public policy, and the ethic of resistance that demands racial justice,” says Dr. Dana A. Williams, interim dean of the HU_gradschool. ✊🏾 #HU #howardhomecoming #howarduniversity #howardu #HUbison #howardalumni #HBCU #HBCUhomecoming #blackcollege #blackcolleges #homecoming #HUHC20
