Great turn-out for African American Leadership Institute

Meeting in person for the first time since COVID 19 began in 2020, the African American Leadership Institute’s (AALI) Summit provided a robust agenda filled with panelists and speakers tackling pertinent issues on Friday and Saturday. At the two-day Fall Policy Summit held at Paul Quinn College, African American leaders and community stakeholders examined critical issues impacting African Americans.
