SUMMARY:“White Like Me” Discussion & viewing of pre-recorded video by Tim Wise
DESCRIPTION:Join Sinclair’s Chief Diversity Officer\, Michael Carter\, for a viewing and discussion of the pre-recorded video by Tim Wise. Using stories from his own life\, Wise examines what it really means to be white in a nation created to benefit people who are “white like him.” This inherent racism is not only real\, but disproportionately burdens people of color and makes progressive social change less likely to occur. Explaining in clear and convincing language why it is in everyone’s best interest to fight racial inequality\, Wise offers ways in which white people can challenge these unjust privileges\, resist white supremacy and racism\, and ultimately help to ensure the country’s personal and collective well-being. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
