Keynote: Aqeela Sherrills: The Reverence Movement

Aqeela Sherrills is an inspiring leader who emerged from the carnage of gang-war ravaged Watts after losing countless friends (and very recently his son) to violence, and decided to work tirelessly to bring peace, education, housing, jobs and self-respect to Los Angeles and other American inner cities. Sherrills offers his vision of the how the environmental, social justice, human rights and civil rights movements need to find common ground in a spirit of reverence and compassion, an understanding that their primary mission is the restoration of the vitality of the human spirit.
