The Louis Gregory Race Unity Foundation
Dale Fowler is the founder of a nationally recognized Race Unity Event in Austin, Texas called the Louis Gregory Symposium, which attracts thousands of DEI practitioners and people of all walks of life who are interested in fostering racial reconciliation in their communities from all across the United States. This annual event and other training have been held each year since 2007 at Huston-Tillotson University in Austin, Texas. This multi-racial symposium in partnership with HBCU Huston – Tillotson continues to grow from year to year and commemorates the life of Louis Gregory, who visited the college in 1920 and gave lectures to students and staff about the need to foster racial amity between the black and white communities. Mr. Fowler is a key thought leader in Austin, Texas whose efforts to unite people of all races have led to Huston – Tillotson to consider funding a professorship chair position at the college in the name of Louis Gregory for the purpose of offering courses on race unity and social justice.
