The first panel discussion: Affirmative Action policies were responsible for making the greatest economic gains for historically marginalized groups. This panel will address how legal challenges to the policies in the 1970s and 1980s, have led to current diversity practices. Why did this happen? Who pushed for these changes? And what have been the legacy effects on achieving racial equity in the workplace today?

The 2022 Truth and Transformation Conference, hosted by the Institutional Antiracism and Accountability (IARA) Project, examined how reparative practices, truth commissions, and institutional reckoning with structural oppression provide ways forward for equitable change.
