This year’s Conversation in Black and White delves into the powerful lived experiences of two individuals who came of age during one of the most pivotal and turbulent periods in American history — the era of school integration and social resistance. Both are graduates of Pensacola High School and were standout athletes – one a football star, the other a basketball star. The conversation between Dick Appleyard and Ernest Dawson is a must-attend event! Their stories are riveting, insightful, and thought-provoking. Moderated by John Peacock!

Equity Project Alliance: Confronting Racial Inequities
Featuring Julian MacQueen and Dr.Lusharon Wiley. Moderated by John Peacock. This two-person dialogue explores the lived experiences of two Southerners who grew up in the Deep South during a time of racial segregation. One participant grew up in a wealthy suburb of Birmingham; the other grew up in a rural south Georgia town. Their conversation will explore various topics from each person’s worldview and experiences through the years. This inside look at the experiences of these two individuals will leave you with a broadened perspective of how worldviews are shaped as they explore the world of rich, poor, white, black, male, female, music, dance and myriad other topics. You may feel connected, curious, uncomfortable, surprised, inspired or hopeful. Whatever emotion you feel, you will be moved by their honest responses. As we strive to improve conversations about race and difference in our community, what better way to do so than to invite you to listen in and share your thoughts about their conversation over dinner. Scholars have found that friendships are a fitting space to have these conversations. We are glad that we are surrounded by friends as we explore the nuances of dialogue cross culturally through the decades with the twists and turns that have occurred in the lives of these two individuals. Who knows what we might learn?
