A Conversation with Author Jim Schutze, Dallas Foundation Chief Impact Officer Drexell Owusu, and Child Poverty Action Lab Senior Director Ashley Flores on The Accommodation

Our friends at Pegasus Park are hosting a conversation on Wednesday, Oct. 12, from 6-7:30. The conversation will feature author Jim Schutze, Dallas Foundation Chief Impact Officer Drexell Owusu, and Child Poverty Action Lab Senior Director Ashley Flores in discussion about The Accommodation, a powerful, long-repressed classic of Dallas history written by Schutze that examines the violent and suppressed history of race and racism in the city.

Water Cooler Partners, the Commit Partnership, The Dallas Foundation, and United to Learn will host the evening conversation, which will be moderated by Commit Chief of Staff Miguel Solis. The conversation will explore the history behind The Accommodation and how we can take steps to remediate past injustices and build a more inclusive future. Light refreshments will be provided.

Registration required. Register here by Tuesday, Oct. 11, to attend.
