Princeton Prize in Race Relations Award Ceremony & Reception
Always one of the most inspiring events!
Please join us for Chicago’s 21st Annual Princeton Prize in Race Relations (PPRR) Award Ceremony and Reception, where we will honor outstanding high school students who, through action and service, have demonstrated leadership in advancing racial equity or promoting racial understanding in their schools and communities.
We are honored to welcome Dr. Sally Nuamah, Associate Professor of Political Science and African American Studies at Northwestern University and a recipient of the 2011 Princeton Prize in Race Relations, as our keynote speaker. As you can see from her included bio, we are privileged to learn from her expertise and insight.
This family-friendly, special (and free) event includes a reception, the program itself, and networking time and is funded in part by PCC membership registration fees.

A recipient of the 2011 Princeton Prize in Race Relations, Dr. Nuamah is also the award-winning author of How Girls Achieve: Gender and Educational Attainment in Black America*. This groundbreaking, data-driven work examines why Black girls are outpacing Black boys academically and explores the broader implications for families, schools, and policymakers.
Her research challenges conventional narratives and equips leaders with a deeper understanding of how race, gender, and institutional structures shape educational outcomes.
