The killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis while in police custody sent shockwaves across the globe. In the months that followed, millions of people marched for racial justice. Calls and promises for change came in almost every sector of American life.

Nearly a year later, what has changed? Have we answered the calls for systemic change? Have we helped to bend the arc of the moral universe any closer toward justice?

This May, the Westminster Town Hall Forum is featuring a special series of talks by racial justice leaders we hope will address those questions and more.

We are calling the series “The Arc Toward Justice: Taking Stock One Year After George Floyd’s Death.”
