[SDCPJ] Speaker Series "Pathways to Racial Justice"

This looks to be an interesting list of speakers hosted by one of the "peace campus" partner organizations.

Oh, and look! You probably know some of the people!

For example: Mariah, PRC Executive Director
& Allen McAfee for AVP (and he's also on the PRC Board)
