ASALH, the premier organization for the study of African American Life and History, is set to host its first virtual national convening to discuss The Fierce Urgency of Now. During the convening, ASALH’s national president Karsonya (Kaye) Wise Whitehead and invited scholars including American civil rights advocate and scholar of critical race theory Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw, Johns Hopkins political science professor Lester Spence, and educator and thought leader LaMarr Darnell Shields will lay out a Magna Carta—discussing what has happened in this country thus far and outlining specific individual and collective actions that we should be doing to right now, as the country counts down to mark the First 100 Days.
