ATTENTION USC STUDENTS!
Meet the award winning author, historian Ibram X. Kendi whose book, How to be an Antiracist, is #3 on this week's New York Times Best Sellers List!
"The only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it--and then dismantle it."
Ibram Kendi brings an original approach to understanding and uprooting racism and inequality in our society and in ourselves. He weaves a combination of ethics, history, law, and science, together with an engaging personal narrative of his own awakening to antiracism.
Become part of a conversation with Kendi, and examine ideas for how we can go beyond an awareness of racism and contribute to the formation of a truly just and equitable society. Until we become part of the solution, we can only be part of the problem.
USC Students-Only Session: Noon to 1:15 p.m.
USC Faculty-only Session: 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
All attendees will receive a copy of his book!
