YWCA Evanston/North Shore invites the public to its third annual racial justice summit titled “The Urgency of How” with the goal of bringing people of all ages and demographics together to deepen their understanding of their own racial identities, develop skills to work for change, formulate action plans, and engage with others.

The keynote speaker will be Tamar Manasseh, a mother from the Bronzeville neighborhood who founded Mothers/Men Against Senseless Killings (MASK) in 2015 to interrupt crime and violence on a block-by-block basis. The daylong event also features breakout sessions led by activists, educators, faith leaders, and students discussing immigration, housing equity, voting rights, and a host of other topics.
