Overcoming Division: Strengthening Race Relations in a Polarized World

He will share with listeners critical intersectional understandings about power, privilege, and disadvantage concerning oppressive systems, and will advocate for unity, community, and a shared vision of the future for all. Come and experience this engaging mixture of poetry and articulate discourse.
