“The Good News About Racism!”

There is a reason why the valiant efforts to address racism and improve race relations have been only marginally successful. The “good news” about the increased visibility of racism is that the door is open for frank and direct conversations about racism and white supremacy that allow us to finally address the core issue. This presentation offers solutions to the problem and will empower each individual with a foundation for direct action. “The Good News About Racism!” was selected for inclusion in the 2016-2017 post-graduate curriculum at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The presentation elevates this critical conversation from hatred to understanding, from fear to courage, and from blame to responsibility.
