Keynote Session:  At the Intersection of a More Inclusive Future for All 

Wednesday, May 21, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM 

Join us for a powerful program at the Sabathani Community Center in south Minneapolis near George Floyd Square.  On the eve of the 5th Anniversary of George Floyd's murder, we will travel via bus to learn from faith community leaders at the intersection of four communities in south Minneapolis.  Listening to their narratives will inspire meaningful discussions on anti-racism and anti-bias among us as educators and psychotherapists. This transformative event will not only honor George Floyd’s legacy but inspire collective action by deepening our understanding of the impact of trauma on recovery and naming what is needed for healing in community.  

Since George Floyd's murder, artists and demonstrators have installed several exhibits, paintings, sculptures, and other works of art throughout the community to memorialize Floyd and visualize racial justice themes. Chartered buses will take participants from the hotel to the edge of the memorial area, where an optional pilgrimage will commence on foot through the installations and memorials that now make up George Perry Floyd Square. The walk will end at the plenary venue, Sabathani Community Center. 

Please join us in reflecting on our shared responsibility to combat systemic racism in our respective communities and re-commit to creating a more inclusive future for all. 

Registration selection is required to participate in this plenary and/or pilgrimage.
