With a multigenerational workforce, valuing the voices and contributions of young leaders working for racial equity and social justice is essential to transforming systems. This symposium invites participants to engage in a dynamic dialogue that navigates the America Erased Campaign by the Courageous Conversation® Global Foundation, examining the implications of banned books in education. Join us as we amplify generational interdependence and explore pivotal youth-led movements, both historical and current. The most common driver for youth activism is racial injustice. Therefore, intergenerational participation is encouraged as we unpack what it means to get empowered, centered, and healed in activism for racial injustice, utilizing the Courageous Conversation® Protocol.
