Webinar: Joy Reid in Conversation with Eric Holder

Join us on Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026 for a special replay of the Vivian Malone Courage Award, featuring Joy Reid in conversation with Eric Holder.

Presented biennially by Dr. Sharon Malone, OB/GYN and Chief Medical Officer of Alloy Women’s Health and sister to Vivian Malone, the Vivian Malone Courage Award honors contemporary women who demonstrate extraordinary courage in the fight for racial justice.

Named after Vivian Malone Jones, the first African American to graduate from the University of Alabama, this signature award celebrates those who, like Vivian, boldly confront injustice and inspire progress.

This year, we are proud to honor Joy Reid—commentator, author, and host of The Joy Reid Show. She will be joined in conversation with The Honorable Eric H. Holder, Jr., former U.S. Attorney General, known for his groundbreaking leadership on civil rights and voting access.

With welcoming remarks from Jalaya Liles Dunn, Director of Learning for Justice at the Southern Poverty Law Center, and a special performance by actor Lisa Arrindell who portrays the groundbreaking icon, journalist and anti-lynching activist, Ida B. Wells Barnett.

Partner: We are excited to partner with Metropolitan AME Church on this event, a historic national church at the vanguard of creating space for all human beings to imagine and build a just and beautiful community.
