Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture: An Evening with Nikole Hannah-Jones

Knight Theater 430 South Tryon Street, Charlotte

There are many opinions in our current social climate. However, there are some voices – voices of expertise and proven knowledge – that stand above the rest. As we continue to celebrate the Gantt Golden Year, we are thrilled to host An Evening with Nikole Hannah-Jones! Hannah-Jones is the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of the 1619 Project, a reporter for The New York Times Magazine, and founder of the Center for Journalism and Democracy at Howard University. She will be in conversation with Sonja Gantt, Emmy Award winner and non-profit executive, to discuss the 1619 Project's implications, impact, and impetus for Black futures. Aligning with our mission to celebrate African-American and African-diasporic arts and culture, the Gantt's goal is to spark conversations that inspire, empower, and enlighten.
