Dr. Panitz, an adjunct professor of religion at Old Dominion University and Virginia Wesleyan College, delivered the keynote address at the event, which was organized by the EVMS Office of Minority Affairs. He spoke of the shared experiences of discrimination among Jews and African Americans, relating both to the Biblical story of Moses.

EVMS students opened the event with a unity procession featuring the flags of different nations. The procession was followed by dance and musical performances by From the Heart Praise Dancers, The Makuta Family String Quartet and Love Associates.

Guests enjoyed a reception in the Brickell Medical Sciences Library Atrium following the program.
