This is our world, and it’s up to us to make it one we want to live in. Sometimes that means taking a knee, and sometimes that means rising up. Join author Candace Buford and award-winning sociologist and writer Crystal Marie Fleming for a conversation on standing up to racial injustice and our collective responsibility to speak out.
