The John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation enters its 11th year of the National Symposium and, due to COVID-19, this year’s symposium will be presented in a virtual format.

Mr. Sinyangwe is an activist, policy analyst, and data scientist who works with communities of color to fight systemic racism through cutting-edge policies and strategies.

Previously, Sam worked at PolicyLink, where he worked to connect 61 federally-funded communities to research-based strategies to build cradle-to-career systems of support for low-income families.

He also worked with city leaders, youth activists and community organizations to develop comprehensive agendas to achieve quality education, health, and justice for young black men.
