Later this month, the Dallas Bar Association will host an event in which two unlikely friends will talk about how a book on social and racial relations/justice issues brought them together.

A Fireside Chat: How Our Differences Bring Us Together will take place from noon to 1 p.m. Sept. 27 at the Arts District Mansion in Dallas. Doug Parker, chairman of the board of directors and former CEO of American Airlines Group, and JacqueRae Sullivan, a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines, will speak, with attorney Nnamdi Anozie of the Anozie firm moderating. The chat will focus on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) issues.
