Season 5
Season 5 considers the aftermath of crises and their long-term impact on the social change sector. The year 2020 marked a profound moment in human history, as the global pandemics of COVID-19 and racial reckoning sparked massive waves that heralded a new era of change. Through conversations with leaders across sectors, Vanessa explores the ways these crises have influenced civil rights, philanthropy, media and beyond, offering insight into what the future may hold as we journey into the “next normals.”
At no point in recent history has civil rights been so loudly at the forefront of everyday life, in multiple ways. The tidal wave of shared trauma ushered in by the Covid-19 pandemic and the recent slew of racially motivated murders presents glaring questions and implications around civil rights and how this moment can be a springboard for true systemic change. As an expert in policies, laws and all facets of civil rights, Ms. Lieberman discusses the implications of this time period, how it relates to other historical moments in civil rights and the myriad of nuances that comprise this complex, but powerful moment in human history.
