Volunteer for a Universities Studying Slavery Conference committee

The University of Maryland is honored to host the upcoming Universities Studying Slavery (USS) Conference from October 22 through October 25, 2026. This event represents a vital moment for The 1856 Project as they engage in critical dialogue regarding the story of enslavement as it relates to our nation's history and its intersections with institutions of higher education.

To ensure this conference is a success, The 1856 Project is seeking dedicated volunteers to join their organizing committees. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to a transformative event and support the essential work of reparative history on our campus and beyond!
