We are thrilled to announce that Joy-Ann Reid – award-winning political analyst, New York Times bestselling author, and renowned host of MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” – will be our keynote speaker at this year's Facing Race conference, November 20-22, in St. Louis!

A political powerhouse and the first Black woman to host a prime-time cable news program, Reid brings a wealth of knowledge and a powerful lens to some of the most pressing issues of our time. Her latest book, "Medgar and Myrlie: Medgar Evers and the Love Story That Awakened America," delves into the civil rights movement, highlighting her ongoing commitment to these crucial issues.

Why we are excited about Reid headlining Facing Race:
