On-Line Events Emphasizing Racial Inequities

African American Policy Forum -Under The Blacklight Series

 

If you did not have an opportunity to participate live in discussions organized by the African American Policy Forum it is not too late to hear the amazing speakers.  All ten of the presentations are available on YouTube.  Prof. Kimberle Crenshaw of UCLA is the moderator of this timely and informative series.  The series began prior to George Floyd's murder, and by a week after, with demonstrations in progress nationwide, over 7,000 participants tuned in to hear from those whose professional and personal experiences informed their views intersectional vulnerabilities. This week an 11th session was recorded addressing #SayHerName.   If you subscribe to the email list, you will receive timely notice of future events and updates of AAPF's work.  The AAPF also hosts #SayHerName. The website is worth reviewing. Among other information, you will find a Primer on Intersectionality.
