Mon, Jan 22 @ 7PM
For generations, skin color has been exploited to divide humanity into
“races,” used to sow division and justify systems of power and oppression.
But race is a human-invented classification system, not a biological
category.
Could a change in our understanding of what race is (and more important,
what it isn’t) bring an end to the racial wealth gap? If race were
recognized as a social construct, could we better protect voting rights and
build equitable access to healthcare and education?
Join our Standing in
Solidarity conversation on race, what it is and how it impacts
our social order and public policies. Our PSEG True Diversity Film Series selection
is “The House We Live In,” the third episode of the documentary series RACE: The Power of an Illusion.

Jan 22, at 7PM.
