Description

In an unprecedented year of social upheaval and civil unrest, citizens around the country feel challenged by violence, xenophobia, bullying, and threats to our humanity and our democracy. This has been a lightning rod in the center of the 2024 election—and the heart of America.

FIT invites renowned journalist Don Lemon to discuss the importance of civility while being a journalist of color during this intense and historic election cycle. Assistant Professor Emil Wilbekin will lead the conversation.

Balancing Acts is the signature event of Civility Week at FIT. Civility Week is held each fall as part of the college’s civility initiative.

This event is presented by the Office of the President, the Department of Marketing Communications, the Social Justice Center, and the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
