Johns Hopkins students, faculty, staff, alumni, and neighbors are invited to join a virtual town hall discussion to begin a dialogue in response to the recent revelations about previously unknown, direct connections between the university's founder and namesake, Johns Hopkins, and slaveholding. Participants will have a chance to ask questions of our historians and to offer advice and ideas for the path forward.

Participants:

Ronald J. Daniels, President of Johns Hopkins University
Paul Rothman, CEO of Johns Hopkins Medicine
Kevin Sowers, President of the Johns Hopkins Health System
Martha S. Jones, Society of Black Alumni Presidential Professor and Professor of History and SNF Agora Institute
Winston Tabb, Sheridan Dean of University Libraries, Archives & Museums
Chris Celenza, incoming Dean of the Krieger School of Arts & Sciences
Jeremy Greene, Director of the Institute of the History of Medicine

Katrina Caldwell, JHU's vice provost for diversity and Inclusion and chief diversity officer, will moderate the discussion.
