Join Simmons University for the 2020 IfIll Forum: “Facing Hard Truths.”
This event will include a virtual panel discussion featuring Ava DuVernay, writer, producer, director, and founder of ARRAY Now; and Sherrilyn Ifill, president and director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. Washington Post Columnist Michele Norris will moderate.
Hosted by the Gwen Ifill College of Media, Arts, and Humanities at Simmons University, this annual signature event carries on Gwen Ifill's legacy as a ground-breaking Black woman journalist by bringing together national voices for a public conversation on a key question of the day. Yamiche Alcindor, White House correspondent for the PBS NewsHour, and the 2019 Gwen Ifill Next Generation Award recipient, will present the 2020 Award to Ava DuVernay.
