The inaugural Jacksonville Civil Rights Conference, Aug. 25-27, 2022, will transform the way you think about Civil Rights movements and empower all ages and backgrounds to embrace their role in building racial equity.

This first-of-its-kind conference will bridge historic and contemporary Civil Rights movements by connecting history, community, arts and culture, and multi-generational partnerships in ways that activate the socio-political imagination and move humanity forward.

The in-person experience (tickets for in-person are sold out) will be held at the newly renovated Southbank Marriott and will feature powerful keynote speakers; an official commemoration of Ax Handle Saturday; thought-provoking educational breakout conversations led by national experts; emotional visual and performing arts; and much more.
