This annual program dedicated to Dr. King’s memory is supported by our temple’s Lenore Golden Kessler Fund and The Marcia Lowenstein Sugerman Fund.
A civil rights activist, DeRay Mckesson focuses his energies on issues of innovation, equity and justice. He has worked to connect individuals with knowledge and tools, and provide citizens and policy makers with commonsense policies that ensure equity and has been praised by President Obama for his work as a community organizer.
He is also the host of the award-winning weekly podcast Pod Save The People – which creates space for conversation about the most important issues of the week related to justice, equity and identity and his book, On the Other Side of Freedom: Race and Justice in a Divided America has received notable acclaim. Born and raised in Baltimore, he graduated from Bowdoin College and holds honorary doctorates from The New School and the Maryland Institute College of Art.
Arrangements to plan for DeRay Mckesson’s appearance have been made by the Greater Talent Network, LLC, New York.
