The Diversity Committee of the Federal Bar Association, Eastern District of Michigan Chapter, will present “Courageous Conversations, Part 2: Building Bridges of Understanding” Thursday, February 8 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.  The presentation will take place online and in person at the offices of Jones Day, 150 W Jefferson Ave., Ste. 2100, in Detroit.

This interactive lunch discussion about race will feature a presentation about the history of oppression by Professor Charles B. Dew, a roundtable of judges and practitioners, and a Q&A.
