Race and Foreign Policy: Global Perceptions of US Civil Rights Movements

More than a century of U.S. civil rights mobilization and the Movement for Black Lives have converged to inspire a global inflection point for racial justice reconciliation. Global demonstrations have shown solidarity for U.S. police brutality cases, while inspiring renewed accountability for similar cases abroad. The practitioners and experts on this panel will reflect on current inspirations for their respective international social justice movements, while identifying foreign policy practices that can catalyze equity and justice.
