Earlier this year, Cornell Brooks, president and CEO of the NAACP, joined NYU Steinhardt and the Presidio Institute for a town hall discussion on civil rights, education, and leadership.

Brooks – a civil rights attorney, minister, and a champion of the transformative power of education – is one of the nation’s leading voices on equality and justice. The town hall event will foster a discussion on issues including voting rights, Black Lives Matter, youth and education, and how leaders can work across sectors to solve society’s problems.
