Second Annual Night of Courage

More than 600 guests joined Night of Courage – an inspiring night that centered the experiences of survivors through storytelling and courageous conversations.

The highlight of the night was a discussion between award-winning coach of the Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr, gun violence prevention advocate, Aalayah Eastmond, and filmmaker Bing Liu – speaking about the interconnected issues of guns and gender-based violence.

The evening also featured several remarkable individuals who have chosen to share their stories with the Courage Museum. Storytellers included Author/Activist, Chanel Miller, Special Assistant Attorney General of Rhode Island, Taylor Dumpson, National Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, Natasha Trethewey, Professor, Christine Blasey Ford, and Comedian/Podcaster/Writer, Chelsea Devantez.
