In response to the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and others, along with the increased focus on fighting racism and injustice, the Birmingham chapter of the American Association of Blacks in Energy (AABE) will host an online conversation with prominent community leaders on actions needed to ensure equity and equality for communities of color in Alabama.
“America’s Communities of Color: Shifting the paradigm from anguish to action” will feature live-streamed panels at 2 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. July 22 hosted by Ralph Williams Jr. of Alabama Power. The panelists will discuss how progress can be achieved in their respective fields, including media, education, business, faith, economics and politics.
The first panel will feature Roy S. Johnson, columnist and director of content development with the Alabama Media Group; Bobbie Knight, president of Miles College; and Kenny Coleman, president and CEO of the Birmingham Business Alliance.
