For the first time since 1999, Houston will play host to one of the nation's largest civil rights and social justice events, and you can get a free seat at the table.
Leaders from across the country will gather downtown beginning July 26 for the National Urban League Conference, where speakers and attendees will confront challenges facing our Black community.
"It's been a long time coming," said Houston Area Urban League president Judson Robinson.
After a previous setback due to COVID-19, more than 15,000 attendees are expected at Houston's George R. Brown Convention Center come month's end.
Robinson said the timing couldn't be better.
