Participants in this rich panel discussion, presented in person and online, include Mel Hardy, art collector and co-founder of DC-based organization Millenium Arts Salon; Leslie King-Hammond, art historian and founding director of the Center for Race and Culture at the Maryland Institute College of Art; Stephanie Stebich, the Margaret and Terry Stent Director of SAAM; and Lowery Stokes Sims, art historian.
