Keynote speaker: Minnijean Brown Trickey
We were extremely honoured to present Minnijean Brown Trickey, one of the nine Black high school students who bravely desegregated Little Rock Central High School in 1957. Now known as the Little Rock Nine, these teenagers ushered a watershed moment in the history of civil rights.
Ms. Brown Trickey inspired us with lifelong commitment to peacemaking, youth leadership, and gender and social justice activism
