In 2020, we witnessed a racial reckoning, with the mass protests all around our nation after the murder of George Floyd—millions taking over the streets to demand racial justice and liberation of Black Lives. But there is another kind of racial reckoning underway, one that is oppositional to racial progress: a white supremacist backlash. Now even talking about racism in America in our classrooms is being challenged and legislated against, along with a proliferation of laws aimed at voter suppression and election subversion designed to weaken the political power of communities of color.

In this, the first of five events, join leading anti-racism scholars and community leaders as they discuss the contemporary challenges to Black liberation, promising practices and pedagogies in overcoming anti-Black racism, and how we can carry forward the legacy of John R. Lewis in the ongoing struggle for racial justice.
