ECONOMY 30.01.2025

NEW HAVEN, CT / ACCESS Newswire / January 30, 2025 / International keynote speaker, bestselling author and leadership expert Christopher C. Hampton has been invited to deliver a talk at Yale University's largest undergraduate conference focused on Black solidarity, a premier gathering that attracts more than 1,000 students from across the country.

Text size:

The conference, held Jan. 30 - Feb. 1, 2025, at Yale's Afro-American Cultural Center, provides a space for students of various races, religions and ethnicities to analyze challenges facing the Black/Afro-Diasporic community and develop solutions for their campuses.

Hampton's talk comes at a pivotal moment as affirmative action, DEI programs and Black institutional power face mounting challenges, leading to heightened racial tensions and systemic rollbacks. Known for his transformative leadership and unapologetic advocacy, Hampton will provide a blueprint for resilience, unity and forward-focused action.

"Leadership in today's climate requires more than just vision-it demands courage, strategy and an unshakable commitment to community," Hampton said. "Now, more than ever, Black solidarity isn't just a concept-it's a necessity. With the dismantling of diversity initiatives nationwide, we must redefine how we show up for one another-economically, socially and politically. This is about strategy, not sentiment."

A Legacy of Thought Leaders & Cultural Icons

Yale's conference has a long-standing tradition of hosting some of the most prominent thinkers, poets, activists and scholars of our time. Past speakers have included:

Michael Eric Dyson
Angela Davis
Nikki Giovanni
Cornel West
Minnijean Brown-Trickey, civil rights icon and member of the Little Rock Nine

In addition to discussions, the conference features a concert with Grammy-winning artists, with past performances by J. Cole, Big Sean, Vic Mensa and Phony Ppl.
