Zeneta Everhart is the mother of Zaire Goodman, a grocery store worker who survived the tragic shooting at Tops Friendly Market in Buffalo on May 14, 2022.
In June, Ms. Everhart testified before the House Committee on Oversight and Reform about the need to address hate and gun violence. Since the shooting, Ms. Everhart and her son have organized a book drive that garnered almost 10,000 donated books to teach future generations about racism, diversity and inclusion. She is the Director of Diversity and Inclusion for New York State Senator Tim Kennedy.
The Eradicating Hate Global Summit was both eye-opening and empowering. To have so many experts in the field of countering hate, all there sharing their expertise, working towards practical and real world solutions, was incredibly unique. It is this focus on meaningful conversations, answers, and solutions that makes Eradicating Hate so incredibly important. The spread of hate is a wicked problem, and the way Eradicating Hate approaches it is how we are going to solve it.
