Details

Join the Cultural and Resource Centers for a week-long series of events focusing on confronting anti-Blackness. Each program is a space for intra-community discussions ending with a larger coalitional/inter-community space/dialogue/workshop of how we all are responsible for resisting anti-Blackness.

** Anti-blackness definition: Anti-Blackness is the personal, cultural, social, legal, and structural devaluing and disenfranchisement of people racialized as Black. Whether intentional or not, anti-Blackness ultimately serves to uphold a system of white supremacy through oppressive policies, institutions, and ideologies.

Join the LGBTQIA+ Resource Center as we discuss the ways anti-blackness operates within personal relationships and queer dating spaces. The conversation will be facilitated by Em Katzman and Afiya Sajwani. This is the first part of an all-day program shedding light on how anti-blackness operates within queer spaces to uphold white supremacy.
