The Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law invites you to a discussion in Boston on September 23 on the extent to which we, as a nation, have succeeded in advancing economic opportunity and justice for African Americans, Latinos, and other people of color in this country. We will examine the successes and challenges of the War on Poverty, in its 50th Anniversary, through the lens of structural racism in the United States--and what lies ahead. This Dialogue can help move the new civil rights and anti-poverty agenda into a call to action--to fulfill our roles in moving all Americans towards a country in which they are defined by their potential--not their circumstances.

Learn more and register at The Shriver Center. Please RSVP by September 19th.

Panelists will include:

  • Theodore M. "Ted" Shaw, Director of the Center for Civil Rights;
  • Rahsaan D. Hall, Deputy Director of the Lawyers' Committee on Civil Rights and Economic Justice;
  • Carol Ashley, Vice President of Advocacy at the Shriver Center.
