CCSS Annual Distinguished Lecture in the Social Sciences in Partnership with Cornell Migrations and co-sponsored by the Office of Faculty Development and Diversity
With the high-profile killings of unarmed African-Americans at the hands of police and civilians, protests are mounting and debates intensifying. These events have left many people asking just how far we have really come since the days of Jim Crow—and the need for dialogue has never been more acute. In this timely lecture, Isabel Wilkerson addresses the persistence of racial injustice as a national challenge and what history can teach us as we work to resolve it.
