Public Class - Overcoming Racism: A Radical Approach

Section I: May 19-June 9, The Roots of Racial Prejudice
Section II: June 23-July 14, Bridging the Race Divide

Is racial conflict inevitable in a multi-racial society? Or is it the product of social and economic conditions -- past and present -- that can be understood and changed? This two-part class will utilize works by writers of color, feminists and radicals to explore these questions and the vanguard role of people of color in social justice movements, including the challenges and rewards of organizing across color lines.
