I suggest and will say more later the following be considered.
Randall Balmer with his recent piece on race and the evolution in GOP that gave us Trump
Harvard's Tomiko Brown Nagin, Furman grad, native of Greenwood SC whose dissertation was on the moderate progressive Black community of Atlanta in 50s and 60s.
Low State Alabama's David Potts, president of Judson College 20 miles east of Selma and the frustration he has had over the years with a black political network that seems to be only interested in their personal aggrandizement. Have Congresswoman Terri Sewell on panel with Potts and Auburn Democracy Project Mark Wilson a student of Wayne Flynt whose non profit has had a presence in Selma the last four years.
Jakari Sellers, son of Cleveland Sellers, an up and coming force in South Carolina.

I think that following the large meetings the plan was to move into developing partnerships among churches who would work together on joint ministries. Here in Macon the two First Baptists, one primarily white and one primarily black, have signed such a covenant, and are developing joint worship and ministry efforts.
It's going to take time for pastors to build relationships that lead to such covenants. Many white and black pastors in the same towns don't know each other at all.
Here in Ga, the state CBF and the New Era Baptist Convention (a black Baptist group based in Ga) held a joint workday in May, to help renovate and restore a camp owned by the New Era Convention to usefulness. Over 200 people were there, and there was a great spirit of teamwork and fellowship. Friendships were made. We worked together, ate together, and worshiped together. More workdays are to be planned. One participant/observer was Hannah McMann, who provides leadership to the New Baptist Covenant project nationally. She lives in DC, I think, but her dad is university minister at Mercer.

Not sure when I'll get my email back again. Maybe tomorrow. We are moving houses and my internet connection and thus my email records are not available. Nor do I have much time (even to answer ET's recent posts). But I'll email Hannah soon.
