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.
How to participate:
- Register here.
- Watch in advance “The House We Live In” from the
three-part docuseries RACE: The Power of Illusion
(California Newsreel, 2003).
- Join us for a virtual
panel conversation on Mon, Jan 22, at 7PM.
Our panel will be
moderated by Angela
Onwuachi-Willig, Dean and Professor at Boston University
School of Law.
Our panelists include:
Ujju Aggarwal,
Author and Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Experiential Learning
at The New School
Jean-Pierre Brutus,
Founder of the South Ward Senior Counsel in the Economic Justice Program
at the New Jersey Institute for Social Justice
Sara Munjack,
