The Ida b. Wells media expert-in-residence
The Ida B. Wells Expert-in-Residence program invited a distinguished journalist with a record of reporting about Southern political issues and with an eye for gender and racial justice for a year long virtual residency at Wake Forest University. The residency included a campus visit to Wake Forest University, ongoing engagement with Wake Forest students, meaningful commitment to the AJC Center community, and sharing expertise with faculty and journalists in the AJC Center local and national network. The budget of AJC Center has allowed for this residency only twice, but it remains a priority for future development given the overwhelmingly positive response of students, staff, faculty and community to the program.
