Friday, July 24th Together Against Anti-Blackness Working to Eradicate Discrimination in Indigenous, Arab, Asian and Latinx Communities
Organized by Observatorio de Las Américas
Join us for this collaborative discussion addressing anti-blackness sentiments and discriminatory conduct within our very own communities of color. This is a two-part event consisting of a public discussion and followed by a small-group workshop.
During the first part, we will have a guided discussion between the facilitators, aiming to find commonalities and differences between discriminatory practices currently affecting Latinx, Arab and Asian-American communities. Facilitators will draw from their experiences as community organizers to address these issues from an informed but non-academic perspective.
This event is inspired by recent conversations about anti-blackness sentiments such asÌý"Confronting Anti-Black Racism in POC, Indigenours and Marginalized Communities"Ìýby the Women And Gender Studies Department at the ²ÊÃñ±¦µä and "A Conversation on Anti-Blackness in the Non-Black Latinx Community" by theÌýÌýIt is also a programmatic follow-up to our previous event "", with Cultural Anthropologist Baily Duhé.
