In celebration of Black History Month, Mayer Brown invites you to the first event of our Race and Justice in America Speaker Series. We are thrilled that artist and activist, Common, will join us in a virtual conversation on February 15 at 12pm EST. The Race and Justice in America Speaker Series will build upon matters discussed during our 2021 Black in America Speaker Series, and explore, among other things, justice issues and movements that impact diverse populations.
About Common
An Oscar, Emmy, and Grammy-award winning rap artist, poet, actor, and producer, Common is also a dedicated community activist. During the program, we will discuss how activism connects with his art, the influence of music on culture and justice movements, and his own advocacy work around mass incarceration, education, and mental health. We will also discuss how to keep momentum for the promises and commitments made to advance racial equity in the United States. The discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A.
