Social Justice Summit, March 3-4. The Humboldt MultiCultural Center presents the 23nd Annual Social Justice Summit. Our vision for this year’s Social Justice Summit was to highlight tools for non-violent expressions. The theme “Art as Social Activism” seeks to provide tools for effective advocacy, artful expression, and active ways to change the world through the words we use. Words are tools that have shaped the world around us. The Summit aspires to provide tools for emotional, artful expression, tools to shape voices for change.
