Writer, broadcaster, and advocate Jesse Wente will look at the ongoing movements for racial and social justice and what the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed about where we are now, as well as what it has taught us about how we need to move forward. Wente will look at both the impacts of COVID on how we understand inequalities, as well as how this should inform our solutions and pathways. Wente will discuss the strength of solidarity movements and how they can help on the pathway to reconciliation.

This event is presented by Diversity Thunder Bay, in partnership with the City of Thunder Bay and the Anti-Racism and Respect Advisory Committee.
