Race, Place & Diversity Awards

The Race, Place & Diversity (RPD) Award was created to honor an individual and/or local organization whose actions demonstrate a commitment to advance diversity and equity. This year’s honoree is Bryan Stevenson, famed attorney and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative. KCFAA will present our 2021 Award at the Partnership for Justice & Remembrance online lecture on April 27, 2021. After receiving the RPD Award, Mr. Stevenson will speak live for 45 minutes followed by a Q & A session. The event is co-hosted by KCFAA, the UMKC Carolyn Benton Cockefair Chair, and The Community Remembrance Project-MO.
