Heather McGhee: 2021 DCF Building Opportunity Keynote

Description

The Delaware Community Foundation is committed to building opportunity for all and advancing racial equity. Our community is stronger when we all have the opportunity to thrive, and for too long there have been — and continue to be — historic barriers, legal and cultural, to the full participation of Black and brown Delawareans. On October 13, 2021, we are thrilled to host Heather McGhee as our featured Building Opportunity Keynote speaker, in partnership with Barclays US Consumer Bank. McGhee’s New York Times best-seller The Sum of Us captures her journey across our country, talking with Americans of all races along the way. McGhee makes a powerful case that racism has a cost to all of us, and that we can achieve real societal gains – higher wages, cleaner air, better funded schools – when we link arms and work together.
