Perry Talks

Given the recent turmoil we are facing in Minneapolis, the 2026 Perry Talks symposium will engage the intersection of the fight for racial justice and our First Amendment rights. The event will be held near George Floyd Square at Christ Church International in South Minneapolis. The event begins at 2:00 PM with a set of inspirational short stories of how people and organizations continue to do the work to fight for racial justice. At 3:00 PM, we will have a keynote speech by Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta followed by a dynamic panel featuring Duchesne Drew, Georgia Fort, Dawn Stevens, and Tracey Willaims-Dillard.
