The A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) open discussion series is hosted by Busboys and Poets as a community service. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action! Each month there is a new topic for discussion.
This Month's Topic: Journalist, Lawyer and Political Columnist Kimberly Atkins will lead a discussion on the Upcoming Elections Vis a Vis Race.
Kimberly Atkins, chief Washington reporter and columnist for the Boston Herald and Host of C-Span's Washington Journal, has covered the Supreme Court and Capitol Hill since 2007. Kim rejoined the Herald’s staff in 2014 after previously serving as the paper’s State House reporter in Boston a decade ago and also writing a freelance political column for the paper for several years. Prior to that, Kimberly served as the Washington Bureau Chief for the Dolan Company newspapers, a group of legal and business publications, where she focused primarily on covering the Supreme Court. Before launching her journalism career, she was a litigation attorney in Boston. She’s a graduate of Wayne State University, Boston University School of Law and the Columbia University School of Journalism.Â
Free and open to all.Â
A.C.T.O.R. is held on the first Sunday of every month at Busboys and Poets 14 th & V; 5:00 PM.
