Keynote Heal Our Cities Final04 Eblast

Heal Our Cities

An intimate conversation with the family of Michael Brown

In an era where cities face increasing social, economic, and racial challenges, the role of community centers has never been more critical. Join President Bryan C. Lee Jr., along with Cal and Michael Brown Sr., for an insightful discussion during the Keynote Luncheon on Friday, October 10th.

Together, they will explore the vital need for community spaces in urban neighborhoods, focusing on their potential to heal, unite, and empower communities. Drawing from recent events and personal experiences, the conversation will highlight how community centers serve as anchors, offering resources, fostering dialogue, and nurturing the collective strength needed to address systemic challenges. This discussion will examine the transformative power of these centers in creating safe, resilient, and equitable communities.

Join us at the 2025 NOMA Conference, KC: FUTURE UNFOLDING in Kansas City, MO, for a powerful week of connection, inspiration, and celebration. It’s not too late to be in the room for this important conversation.
