Keynote Address:
Michele Norris, Peabody Award-winning journalist, founder of The Race Card Project, and Executive Director of The Bridge, The Aspen Institute’s new program on race, identity, connectivity, and inclusion
For more than a decade Norris served as a host of NPR's All Things Considered, where she interviewed world leaders, American presidents, Nobel laureates, leading thinkers, and groundbreaking artists. She has also produced in-depth profiles, interviews, and series for NPR News programs, as well as special reports for National Geographic, Time Magazine, ABC News, and Lifetime Television. Norris created The Race Card Project, an initiative to foster a wider conversation about race in America, after the publication of her family memoir, The Grace of Silence.
This keynote address will be followed by a short intermission and a Q & A dealing with local issues, moderated by Dr. LaDrina Wilson (Founder, Iman Consulting, and Executive Director, Quad Cities Chamber of Commerce), and including Michele Norris, Lauren Hammond (Associate Professor of History, Augustana College), and Ryan Saddler (Associate Vice President of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, St. Ambrose University).
