According to student/participant Meghan Thomas, “It was a great experience! We saw a lot of great speakers, like Tim Wise and Cornell West. We also saw a lot of traditional performances, including: Philipino, Mariachi, and Native American performances. We even attended a Native American Pow-Wow. The sessions each day were challenging and informative. The conference also featured caucuses for different races/ethnicities.”
