Interfaith Action of Central Texas (iACT), an Austin nonprofit which supports the community through interfaith dialogue, service, and celebration, will present the 2021 HOPE Awards as a virtual event
The theme for the 2021 HOPE Awards is “Calling on our Better Angels.” This year’s honorees include Dr. Colette Pierce Burnette, president of Huston-Tillotson University, philanthropists Nahid and Ali Khataw, and the Buddhist community, Fo Guang Shan Xiang Yun Temple.
The event will also feature an in-depth conversation with the celebrated author and professor Dr. Eddie Glaude, whose recent book, Begin Again, is a searing indictment of racial injustice in America, inspired by the life and work of James Baldwin. Through his work as a commentator on MSNBC and writer, Glaude continually calls on our better angels; as Baldwin himself put it, “Not everything is lost. Responsibility cannot be lost, it can only be abdicated. If one refuses abdication, one begins again.”
