Tuesday, November 10: Black Lives Matter and the Need for Political Activism
Has America reached a tipping point in our understanding of racism in our country? With a growing minority population and graphic videos in the media, are white Americans changing their views on racism? Is a growing acceptance of the fact that racism is real going to usher in real change in America or lock in more tribal divisiveness? Is political activism the only way to drive change? What other levers of social change can be utilized to create more equal opportunity? Some suggest anarchy and activism are two sides of the same coin. How do we keep activism politically constructive?
