Our 2021 programming theme is The Work Left to Do, and within that theme we’ll explore a different focus each month. In the first Tea of the month, we will look at a topic from a broader perspective to understand the universal and legal challenges. For the second Tea of the month, we will speak with someone who is doing the work to educate and/or change minds and viewpoints around that topic. For the month of January our programming focused on race.

Juan R. Thomas is the Vice Chair of the American Bar Association Civil Rights & Social Justice Section. Juan is Of Counsel at Quintairos, Prieto, Wood & Boyer, P.A., the founder and principal of The Thomas Law Group, a member of the Council of the American Bar Association’s Section for State & Local Government, and the General Counsel for the Morehouse College National Alumni Association. Juan and Kristan discussed the equity gap through a race-based lens.
