Keynote speakers include Dr. Julian Agyeman, professor of urban and environmental policy and planning at Tufts University in Massachusetts; Elizabeth C. Yeampierre, a civil rights attorney and executive director of Brooklyn-based community group UPROSE; Dara Cooper, co-founder of the National Black Food and Justice Alliance; and youth activist Denzel Austin Thompson of Philadelphia’s Urban Creators.
