Short-term Outlook:
We are excited to announce that Daryl Davis, subject of the award winning documentary, Accidental Courtesy, will be in Edmonton in Spring of 2023. Mr. Davis has received the Elliott-Black and MLK awards, as well as numerous other local and national awards, for his work in dismantling racism. He is also on the Board of Advisors for FAIR. You can learn more about Mr Davis from his 2017 TedX Talk.
