Join the Institute For Black Justice for the 2nd annual Freedom Summer Symposium, an event that seeks to unite the generations in an environment that fosters leadership, learning, and solutions to some of our biggest societal challenges.


This year the theme is on the 1969 Mother’s Day disturbance in Hilltop, Tacoma, Washington, and how this event spearheaded the careers of some of our most prominent civil rights leaders in Pierce County. The question is how do younger generations take what our legacy builders have created and update that blueprint for today.


The Freedom Summer Symposium is a one-of-a-kind event in Pierce County every year that seeks to not just come up with solutions, but also implement them in the work the IBJ will be doing over the next year. We would love to have you join us this year at Pacific Lutheran University on May 19th and 20th from 10 am- 2 pm. More details can be found on our registration page.
