Keynote Speaker: Lurie Daniel Favors, Esq., Executive Director of the Center for Law and Social Justice, Medgar Evers College
As the host of the Lurie Daniel Favors Show on SiriusXM’s Urban View channel 126, Ms. Daniel Favors brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise on racial and social justice to the airwaves. An activist and attorney with a long-standing commitment to racial and social justice, Ms. Daniel Favors joined the Center for Law and Social Justice at Medgar Evers College CLSJ as General Counsel in 2015, prior to being named Executive Director in 2022. She began her legal career as an attorney in the New York offices of Proskauer Rose LLP and Manatt Phelps and Phillips, LLP. She also served as a federal court law clerk in the chambers of the Honorable Sterling Johnson, Jr., in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. She later founded Daniel Favors Law PLLC, a law firm that focused on economic and racial justice. In 2021, Ms. Daniel Favors was appointed as a commissioner to the NYC Racial Justice Commission, a body created by Mayor Bill de Blasio to increase equity among different racial groups by changing city laws that uphold and enable systemic racism and other identity-based systemic discrimination.
