Dennis Farm Charitable Land Trust's 2023 Lonaé A. Moore Forum
In partnership with the Museum of the American Revolution, the Dennis Farm Charitable Land Trust will present the sixth annual Lonaé A. Moore Forum, “It Begins with Each of Us: Fostering Racial Understanding”, on Saturday, February 25, 2023, from 1 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. The theme of this year's forum is "A Way Forward" with a focus on how to make sure the full stories of our nation’s past, including the contributions of people of African descent, are told today.
Panelists include Errin Haines, founder and editor-at-large for The 19th, a nonprofit, nonpartisan newsroom covering the intersection of women, politics, and policy, and an MSNBC contributor, as well as Dr. Jesse McCarthy, professor of African American studies and English literature at Harvard University and author of “Who Will Pay Reparations on My Soul?”. Adrienne G. Whaley, the Museum’s Director of Education and Community Engagement, will moderate the conversation.
The event marks the sixth annual Lonaé A. Moore Forum and is named in honor of Lonaé A. Moore (1997-2018), an eighth-generation direct descendant of the Dennis family and Delaware State University student who passed away in 2018. The forum takes place as part of the Museum’s Black History Month celebration in February.
The forum is free to attend, but registration is required. To register, please email [email protected] or via web link. Admission to the Museum’s galleries is included with event registration, which includes access to the new special exhibit Black Founders: The Forten Family of Philadelphia.
