The Black & White Reunion will present the 27th annual Pittsburgh Racial Justice Summit in partnership with Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) , YWCA Greater Pittsburgh, and WZUM.

This year’s theme is People Power & Progress: Community Engagement for Justice & Accountability. Our goal is to engage and empower the entire community present in discussions about how to build connections and coalitions across differences to collectively work toward racial justice in Pittsburgh and beyond.

Our keynote speaker is Jasiri X, a Hip-Hop artist and activist. He is a co-founder of 1Hood media, whose mission is to build liberated communities through art, education, and social justice. He has discussed his views on Hip-Hop, race, and politics at leading institutions across the nation, including Harvard University, University of Chicago, NYU, Yale, and Stanford. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Chicago Theological Seminary. This recognition grew out of the spiritual/political urgency and artistic vision he shared on songs like “Justice For Trayvon” and “Strange Fruit”.

The Summit will include panelists and workshop leaders from the community on a variety of topics, promoting racial justice and community building.
