The Overcoming Racism 2021 Conference aims to respond to our times in a way that reflects concern for the health and safety of conference attendees as a hybrid event. As heartbreaking as that is to us who have found previous Overcoming Racism conferences to be viral in terms of information exchange, learning and relationship-building, we wish to keep our physical viral exchange to a minimum. And as it turns out, a hybrid conference allows for even more voices, more learning and more relationship-building.
