Conference Registration

With panel discussions, featured speakers, and open discussion groups this is as unique and ambitious a conference on civil rights that you have ever attended. On August 27, 2013, attendees to the “Marching Forward By Looking Back” Conference on Civil Rights will leave with a more comprehensive understanding of the problems and solutions that will allow us to make the progress that Doctor King dreamed of 50 years ago.

Beyond that come prepared to march – for on the following day (August 28, 2013) our D.C. Police permit has us marching first to the Department of Labor (to emphasize our call for economic justice) and
then to the Department of Justice (to emphasize our call for civil and criminal justice). After that we shall gather at the steps of the Lincoln Monument as Doctor King did a half a century ago.

In commemoration of the 50th Anniversary of the ’63 March, registration for this conference is just $50.00 per adult, $25.00 per student. Registration fees will be used to defray the cost of the Conference. You can pay online (below) or mail in your payment.

Why doesn’t someone disclose location of events on 27th August?! “Room A,” etc., is quite insufficient to make plans!!!
- VanWhite
  
  We are waiting for final room confirmation from Howard University. As soon as we get that information it will immediately be posted to the web site.
  - Charles Player
    
    Rooms A, B, C, etc., are at Howard? What building?

    I want to attend and need to no how much it will cost and are we going to receive tickets for the conference
- Judy
  
  We want to attend too, but we have no clue who’s speaking or how the groups will be set up. In my day job, I organize scads of conferences for academic groups, and we usually announce featured speakers and panelists and also what’s going to be done in terms of group activities WAY in advance. Perhaps there are other considerations I don’t know about, but it would be really nice to know where the event will take place since we’re traveling from RI to attend the march and hope to also go to the conference on the 27th. But we want to know more. Also, it is important to assure that the conference facility will accommodate the size of the group which might be substantially larger now than might have been anticipated initially.

Brown skinned Indians from INDIA would not be in America if it wasn’t for Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement. Indians are complacent about this fact. Will Indians show support? I think not!

I would be careful that this is a scam……….
- VanWhite
  
  Don. Your comments are not only untrue but they are shameful. Shameful because you have absolutely no basis for making such a offensive statement. Shameful because you probably have an agenda other than treating everyone with dignity and respect. You probably believe that your false allegations are warranted because they protect the selfish interests of others. But can we ever expect others to treat us fairly if we can not even treat each other with honeaty and integrity. Here’s the thing Don… your false statement that this may be a scham not only disrespects the hardworkinng folks who are putting it together, it also unnecessarily misdirects people who may be looking to partcipate in a meaningful event such as this. Or are you the kind of person who thinks he knows what’s best for everyone? I sure hope not because we as a people have had enough of that.

    First, I never said it was a scam. I merely warned people to be careful that it could be. And I’m sure you have a bias in your position. Are you one of the people putting this together? I certainly hope this is legitimate. You are asking people to pay a fee for something that seems not to have been organized. You haven’t secured a room for the event nor have you listed any conference attendees. If this is not a scam, at least it could be organized better. I thought about attending, but I am not giving an organization $50 for nothing.
VanWhite

Of course I am involved in this event. My name is referenced in this site many times. You indicate that we do not mention any conference attendees. You obviously did not examine the site. We identify organizations that will be presenting (Freedom School) and specifics individuals ( a professor Of Columbia, a vice provost from a HBC, the former superintendent of one of the largest school districts in the country, former mayor of a large city, etc). If you are truly interested go to the NEWS tab. Perhaps you’ll change your mind.
VanWhite

Don one final note. You continue to cast judgments without knowing the facts. We have had room assignments given to us by an official at Howard University earlier this year. If youd like to verify The administrators name is Dr. Steven Johnson. But due to a delay on the part of Howard University we decided not to identify those rooms on the web site. For the record those rooms were The Digital Auditoriim, the Forum. and Room 142. We were wise and well organized to not release these room numbers as they have changed since Dr. Johnson was gracious to offer historic Howard as a site for our conference. I don’t need to bore you with the details, but again the intermal handling of room assignments (complicated by registration) was very frustrating for us and is not something that can be fairly blamed on the organizers of this event. But, as they say, it’s all good. Thanks to Dr. Johnson, his staff, and others at Howard they have straightened things out. (Stay tuned to the web site for more exciting developments) I think perhaps you dont truly appreciate how complicated it can be put one of these events together. But this is how people show their commitment to the cause and the detailed behind the scenes work that most don’t see. Consequently, can i suggest that the next time you have a concern, that Rather than judge it so quickly call a brother up and ask him a question or two before telling people that “maybe it’s a scam”. Better yet offer to lend a hand. That’s the kind of conduct and attitude that would be fitting of the 50th anniversary! God bless.

Hi, Just checking to see if there have been any updates for the featured speaker on Aug 27th. Also, has Howard University been confirmed as the location?? I’d like to register before the deadline.

Is the registration fee required to participate in the march as well?
