Abstract
Town Hall - APA Addresses Structural Racism, Part Two: The March Continues
Monday, August 24, 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Join APA leadership and an esteemed panel for a virtual town hall to commemorate the 57th anniversary of the March on Washington in August 1963. The March drew attention to the continuing challenges and inequalities faced by Black Americans a century after emancipation. It is also where the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his now-iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.
The town hall will examine these issues:
How the Black Lives Matter movement is an outgrowth of the civil rights initiatives reducing the inequalities faced by Black people.
How racial injustices impact the health and well-being of children and families.
How far we still must go to address structural racism. ■
