Join us for the fourth annual Racial Justice Conference, as we return to Montgomery, Alabama, one of the historic homes of the Civil Rights Movement. The National Association for Public Defense is proud to host this immersive and transformative conference, designed to enhance your understanding of racial justice and your ability to fight for it in your work as a public defender.

"The visits to the museum & memorial were some of the most transformative experiences I've ever had!"

The Legacy Museum is located on the site of a former warehouse where Black people were forced to labor. Compelling visuals and data-rich exhibits provide a one-of-a-ki?nd opportunity to investigate America's history of racial injustice and its legacy — to draw dynamic connections across generations of Americans impacted by the tragic history of racial inequality.

The National Memorial for Peace and Justice is home to more than 4,400 African American men, women, and children who were hanged, burned alive, shot, drowned, and beaten to death by white mobs between 1877 and 1950. On a six-acre site atop a rise overlooking Montgomery, the national lynching memorial is a sacred space for truth-telling and reflection about racial terror in America and its legacy.

"Devastating, poetic, powerful, important: go see this production of 'American Son'. I just did. I will be thinking about it for decades."
|
|
Featuring a special performance of American Son
American Son is a play that needs to be seen. - It is a topical and poignant drama in which a bi-racial couple (a black woman, and her estranged white husband) must confront their own feelings about race and bias after their son is detained by local police following a traffic stop. Their disparate histories and backgrounds inform their assumptions as they try to find out what happened to their son.

"See this show! This is one of the most important
and downright heartbreaking experiences I’ve had in the theatre"
|
|
|
Through a range of educational opportunities you will gain the tools and insights needed to be a more effective advocate for racial justice in your work as a public defender. You will also have the opportunity to connect with colleagues from across the country who share your commitment to advancing the cause of justice for all.

If NAPD is able to fill the spot with an attendee on the waitlist, a refund will be issued.
NAPD doesn't apply for CLE or track attendance to provide certifications for our live webinars, conferences and online courses. This helps us keep the price as low as possible and avoids the disruption of the flow of the training required by many states to verify attendance.
