Join us to honor Tarana J. Burke, Founder of the #MeToo Movement
The event is free, open to the public, and will take place via Zoom webinar.
For more than 25 years, activist and advocate Tarana J. Burke has worked at the intersection of sexual violence and racial justice. Fueled by commitments to interrupt sexual violence and other systemic inequalities disproportionately impacting marginalized people, particularly Black women and girls, Tarana has created and led various campaigns focused on increasing access to resources and support for impacted communities, including the ‘me too.’ movement, which to date has galvanized millions of survivors and allies around the world.
In 2007, PBHA established a lecture and award that brings a significant figure in public service to campus each year to engender a commitment to service and draw attention to important social issues. The award is named after Dr. Robert Coles - author of "The Call of Service," former PBHA volunteer, civil rights advocate, child psychologist, Harvard professor, and Pulitzer Prize winner.
