This series of virtual webinars addresses the current state of national affairs as they pertain to Black people.
The health pandemic created by COVID-19 has brought racism to the forefront as a public health crisis that has been and continues to be an age-old detriment to African Americans. The health disparities crisis is compounded by the persistence of police killings and civilian vigilantism that traumatize black communities.
These webinars will bring together educators, students, community activists, civic leaders and the general public to discuss topics emanating from the volatile moment of the pandemics, and, importantly, to develop action-oriented strategies for social justice.
These events are free and open to the public. For more information, click the registration links below:
