Kyra Madison
SPEAKER
Kyra Madison is the direct descendant of Coreen (an enslaved Cook) and James Madison (4th United States’ President). Kyra speaks about the shared experience of Black America being disinherited (both individually and as a community) from the founding opportunities of land, wealth and privilege afforded White America. This disparity created by over 400 of years of sanctioned enslavement and the following systemically racist Jim Crow laws necessitates the discussion of equitable inclusion initiates and institutional reparations.
