Tickets – Free, registration required at www.pennhouseproductions.com/CNNDialogues

Fifty years ago, at the historic March on Washington, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and proclaimed that he was there to "cash a check for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Join the James Weldon Johnson Institute for the Study of Race and Difference at Emory University, and the National Center for Civil and Human Rights for the eighth CNN Dialogues forum to engage with social activists who are taking lessons from the past while expanding ideas about justice, inclusion and opportunity to impact the 21st century.

CNN Dialogues welcomes moderator Michaela Pereira, CNN news anchor for “New Day” and esteemed panelists Minh Dang, executive director of Don’t Sell Bodies; Dr. Arthur Dunning, professor and senior research fellow at the University of Alabama’s Education Policy Center; Tara Roberts, founder of Girltank and Michael Skolnik, political director to Russell Simmons and president of GlobalGrind.com.
