From the editors "Since 2017, the Summit for Civil Rights has convened multi-racial, non-partisan, gatherings of some of the nation’s top civil rights leaders in the field of organizing, labor, faith, academia, law, and elected office to respond to the powerful and dangerous intersection of enduring racial disparities, widening economic inequality, and rising political polarization throughout our entire society.

This year's summit will feature AFL-CIO Secretary Treasurer Fred Redmond. Secretary Treasurer Redmond will be the recipient of the James E. Clyburn "Vaults of Opportunity" Award. Fred Redmond is the highest ranking African American labor leader in America and the first to ascend to this powerful post."

The summit will run from 1:00 pm on September 28, 2023 until 4:00 pm on September 29, 2023.
