Facing Race conference participants gathered just days after the conclusion of the most contentious election season in decades. Both major parties exposed their deep splinters, Trumpism became the new normal and many politicians were forced to deal with issues that communities of color raised to national prominence. In Facing Race’s closing plenary on November 12, racial justice leaders speak to the challenges of governance before us, and how the movement can position itself to make the most of the next four years.

These are the activists and thought leaders featured in "Where Do We Go From Here?" listed in alphabetical order: 

• Kara Denise Brewer Boyd, director, American Indian Farmers
