UGA slavery symposium unites historians, performers for racial justice discussion

The University of Georgia hosted its first Symposium on Recognition, Reconciliation and Redress on Friday and Saturday, a series of presentations and performances dedicated to discussing the historical and contemporary impacts of slavery on the university and the city of Athens. The event brought together more than 50 speakers and participants from all over the country, particularly the Athens area. This year’s symposium was organized by its eight-member planning committee, many of whom are educators and researchers connected to the university. “We believe the collective knowledge about and experiences of racism and white supremacy held among those who have come together as part of this symposium must play a larger role in the ways that the University of Georgia shapes its future,” said symposium planning committee member Amy Andrews during introductory remarks Friday morning.
