Racism vs. Humanity: Can the Movement Transcend the Moment?

Despite the history of racism in the United States being unique in many respects, the murder of George Floyd sparked protests across the globe. Has the movement transcended the moment – and the unique American story of race – toward a greater understanding of the commonalities of humanity? Or is something else at play? Join Valerie Jarrett, Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors of the Barack Obama Foundation, and Michael Nutter, a Distinguished Senior Fellow at Harris and a former Mayor of Philadelphia, for a fireside chat about what the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King called the “arc of the moral universe” – and its current trajectory.
