Valuing Black Lives:
The Second Annual Global Emotional Emancipation Summit(SM)

2016 Summit Theme:

We Talk. We Tell. We Teach.

Inspired by the African proverb "until the lion has a historian, the hunter will always be a hero," this Summit will continue and build upon Taking Control of Our Destiny, 2015's unprecedented international gathering. That groundbreaking meeting brought together Black leaders from Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean, to set us on a course to free ourselves and our children --once and for all-- from the root causes of the devaluing of Black lives and the under-development of Black communities: the lies of White superiority and Black inferiority.

Presented by
Community Healing Network, Inc.
and
The Association of Black Psychologists

in conjunction with Rep. Karen Bass
