East Tennessee State University announced its keynote speaker for their Equity and Inclusion Conference, Sept. 28-30 — and we just got more excited about attending.

ETSU will welcome journalist + Princeton University professor Dr. Imani Perry, a well-known scholar of law, race, and African American culture, and the critically-acclaimed author of “South to America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Soul of a Nation.”

Several speakers from across the country will join Perry to discuss Appalachian identity, culture, race, ethnicity + more.
