Speakers:'
Colonel Ann Wright. A career military woman, US diplomat, influential spokesperson in the anti-war movement, she resigned from the State Department in 2003 in protest of the invasion of Iraq. She is an advisory board member of Veterans For Peace, International Peace Bureau, World BEYOND War, Gaza Freedom Flotilla, NO to NATO and a CODEPINK board member.
Reggie Jackson. An award-winning journalist, Navy veteran, he is a nationally and internationally recognized race relations expert, speaker and published writer. Drawing from his background as a Griot—a traditional West African oral historian—he illuminates often-overlooked narratives within the African-American experience and that of other people of color, both past and present. His dedication to historical accuracy, social justice education, and community empowerment underscores his impact on shaping a more equitable and inclusive society.
