Has American Democracy Overcome Racism?

Racist attitudes and structures persist in America today despite the legacy of the civil rights movement and profound demographic shifts.  In the light of recent racial tensions, how can Americans continue to promote racial cooperation and equality?  Drs. Steven Reich and Kirsten Dyck of the JMU History Department will discuss how historical and contemporary examples of racial injustice and interracial collaboration might inform America’s ongoing struggle for a just and inclusive political system. An open discussion with audience members will follow their presentations.
