January 30, 2025 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am

Our expert panel, Dr. Thomas Crofoot, Dr. Marian Harris, and Dr. Margaret Hobart, will engage us in a deeply thought-provoking conversation about the historical context of African American/Black children and Indigenous/American Indian children in the child welfare system.
