About The Golden Thread
Since 2023, The Golden Thread has celebrated KY’s visionary thought leaders and artists. We’ve brought Charles Booker, SG Goodman, Secretary of State Michael G. Adams, and many others into conversation with each other and RUX’s mission.
In the past few years, we’ve gained a broader audience due to a recent feature in The New York Times and a tweet from President Barack Obama, and we are excited to share this conversation on one of Kentucky's biggest stages.
