Thursday Morning Keynote Address - Dr. Daina Ramey Berry

Dr. Daina Ramey Berry will provide a national perspective of how national understanding of assigned value of the slave body (emerging from her book - The Price for their Pound of Flesh: The Value of the Enslaved, from Womb to Grave, in the Building of a Nation)  - evolved into a sense of self-worth that a community such as Greenwood area could evolve and come to embody a dream of collective worth for the African Americans across the United States and the world. She will also provide perspective on how she sees the black female voice in influencing the building and rebuilding of the Greenwood area.
