Charis welcomes Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman in conversation with Cliff Albright for a discussion of The Black Agenda: Bold Solutions for a Broken System. Edited by Anna Gifty Opoku-Agyeman, The Black Agenda is the first book of its kind—a bold and urgent move towards social justice through a profound collection of essays featuring Black scholars and experts across economics, education, health, climate, and technology. This event is co-hosted by the Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture and History.

From ongoing reports of police brutality to the disproportionate impact COVID-19 has had on Black Americans, 2020 brought a renewed awareness to the deep-rootedness of racism and white supremacy in every facet of American life.
