Programs & Events
The Center for Racial Justice hosts programs and events open to the Ford School community and the public.
We bring in scholars, activists, and thought leaders who have made significant marks on the policy landscape. In January 2023, we hosted Angela Harrelson, the aunt of George Floyd and the author of Lift Your Voice: How My Nephew George Floyd's Murder Changed the World to speak to hundreds in our U-M community. In the fall of 2022, we featured our inaugural cohort of CRJ Changemakers: Holly Bass, writer, performance artist, educator, and organizer; Niketa Brar, the founding executive director of Chicago United for Equity; and Gabrielle Wyatt, founder of The Highland Project.
