The Thinking Lives Matter Lecture Series is an eight-week intensive program on civics, politics, and self-empowerment, offered through a community partnership between the Mervyn M. Dymally Institute and the non-profit organization, Sanctuary of Hope. All sessions take place on the campus of California State University Dominguez Hills, targeting young adults aged 18-25 with advanced knowledge of higher education pathways, civic engagement, and electoral empowerment to amplify their voices in society.
Participants who complete the program are recognized as SOH /Thinking Lives Matter Scholars and receive a $2,500 fellowship stipend.
This flourishing partnership, ongoing for three years, is led exclusively by Dr. Anthony Samad. His immense experience in teaching and political engagement has made a lasting positive impact on the program's scholars, strengthening their confidence, and empowering their roles as leaders in their communities.
