First, we thank President Corey Dolgon for his excellent leadership in organizing the 71st Virtual Annual Meeting: Revolutionary Sociology: Truth, Healing, Reparations and Restructuring, and also in navigating unchartered waters as we moved from an in-person meeting to a full virtual meeting because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Miller, and Raul Perez -- and especially the Program Committee Co-Chairs, Woody Doane and Saher Selod, for putting together an outstanding program.
