Hosted by Darren Walker, President, Ford Foundation and co-hosted by Chris Boot, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Hank Willis Thomas, Carrie Mae Weems, and Deborah Willis, the evening featured readings by Michael Famighetti, Sarah Lewis, Sarah Jones, Hank Willis Thomas, Carrie Mae Weems, Garnette Cadogan, Margo Jefferson, Chelsea Clinton, and Khalil Gibran Muhammad.
