Hate has No Place in the NOW Generation | Waikinya Clanton | TEDxUniversityofMississippi

What might happen if we create a NOW generation that is defined by action instead of age? Harkening back to the civil rights era of the 1950s and 60s, Clanton shows how movements are multiplying and changing. But they all have one thing in common—committed people refusing to let hate maintain power. WAIKINYA CLANTON, J.S., is a seventh generation Mississippian and first-ever State Director of the Southern Poverty Law Center. As she works on pressing issues in Mississippi, Clanton prioritizes collaboration and focuses on building coalitions among grassroots organizations, legislators, and community leaders. Her strategic vision aims to empower local communities, ensuring they have the necessary tools and resources to advocate for themselves. Clanton is the creator of the ANCHRD framework: a systematic approach for people to engage in civic life that prioritizes rootedness over recognition, co-creation over charity, and sustained commitment over viral moments. Clanton’s work has earned numerous accolades, including the Judge Constance Slaughter Harvey Champion Award and being named one of Mississippi’s Top 50 Women in Business. In 2022, she was selected as one of The Root’s 100 Most Influential African Americans. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
