Michael Gilbert, Black Male Initiative Coordinator, will engage with conference participants regarding an abbreviated historic overview of social justice movements across college campuses generations ago to date. It is his hope that students are enthusiastically “tuned in” and depart this conversation with an understanding with respect to progress made, there are still societal concerns they should feel empowered to actively address.
