Description
Public Class: Overcoming Racism: A Radical ApproachTuesday nights, March 13 – May 8, 7 – 8:30 pm
Is racial conflict inevitable in a multi-racial society? Or is it the product of social and economic conditions—past and present—that can be understood and reversed?
This two-part class will use works by writers of color, feminists and radicals to explore these questions and the important leadership role of people of color in all the social justice movements. The challenges and rewards of organizing across color lines as well as various political approaches to accomplishing this will be discussed.
March sessions: In the first session (3/13), discussion will focus on the theme, “Has racism always existed? The truth can set us free.” The second and third sessions will cover, “Profit and prejudice under capitalism” (3/20), “Autonomy or separatism: which road for people of color?” (3/27).
$2 donation requested per session. Reading materials available at a nominal cost.
Snacks available at 6:30pm for a $6 donation.
