Featured in the Belfer Center Spring 2021 Newsletter »
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf announced that for the month of February, he would be using his social media presence to tell the story of Emmett Till, in honor of Black History Month. Emmett Till was a 14-year-old Black boy who was murdered in 1955 for allegedly flirting with a white woman. This panel discussed the significance of truth-telling and the reconciliation that can result from the acknowledgment of this country's racialized history.
This event was co-sponsored with the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability Project at the Shorenstein Center and the Black Student Union.
