This year marks a century since the first observance of what would become Black History Month—a milestone that invites both reflection and renewed commitment. Yet this anniversary arrives at a moment when efforts to advance racial and social justice are increasingly challenged, politicized, or deprioritized.

Join NationSwell and fellow impact leaders for an honest, forward-looking conversation about sustaining progress toward equity amid headwinds. We’ll explore how organizations are continuing to drive meaningful impact, protect hard-won gains, and evolve their approaches to ensure this work remains credible, strategic, and enduring for the next hundred years.

To encourage open and candid discussion, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations. This ensures a trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and deeper insights.
