The Equity Summit creates a space for those actively engaged in race equity and inclusion efforts across the southeast to lean on and learn from each other. It will also allow for the creation of a network, spanning the southeast, of people working towards equity in a variety of fields: a systemic approach to a systemic issue.

The Second Annual Equity Summit broadens its focus to encompass four southern cities that share similar histories, socio-economic issues, and cultures. Participants will come from Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Alabama; Columbia, South Carolina; and Jackson, Mississippi. The three day conference will take place from November 20-22, 2019 at the Nickelodeon Theater and the South Carolina State Museum.
