12th Annual Summit - Jan. 23, 2010

Welcome

Welcome to The Black and White Reunion Website.   The annual Pittsburgh Summit Against Racism, which takes place the Saturday after the Martin Luther King holiday weekend, culminates the region’s celebration of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King.   The Summit is an opportunity for all of us to recommit ourselves to the struggle for civil rights, economic justice and peace for which he and many others have given their lives.

This year’s Summit will offer inspiring speakers spanning different generations, skill building techniques for our justice movements, strengthening the programs of the Black and White Reunion such as the Jonny Gammage Scholarship plus lifting up and supporting other anti-racism work in our region.

Note: This year's program is shorter than usual which will allow for people to join Black Voices for Peace at 1pm outside for their weekly vigil calling an end to the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Proceeds to benefit the Jonny Gammage Scholarship Fund and ongoing activities of the Black and White Reunion.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
