As we honor the historical legacy of #Juneteenth, our DEI Alliance hosted a conversation with Duane Hughes, Chair, Americas Advisory Council at UBS, Gayle Jessup White, Author and Public Relations & Community Engagement Officer at Monticello and Emilie Johnson, Curator of Arts and History at Monticello. The fascinating and engaging discussion explored the often-overlooked stories and resilience of the enslaved community at Thomas Jefferson’s home. We thank Duane Hughes, Gayle Jessup White and Emilie Johnson for their time and insights, and our Schonfeld colleagues for their engagement.
