The first day of the Summit will begin with the golf outing at the newly-renovated Charleston Municipal Golf Course (a newly renovated public gem that has been named one of the Top 20 Municipal Courses in the country with its own story about racial integration). The evening will include opportunities for attendees to connect socially, which will help create a positive environment for Day 2. The evening will also feature a "fireside chat" with Valentino Dixon, who spent over 25 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, before his drawing of Augusta National Golf Club started a chain of events that would eventually lead to his freedom.
