Black Lives Matter & Anti-Racism in Public Higher Education

Visit https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/r/ww76t0hn4g for the recording of this event.

With the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery , the movement for Black lives and against racist policing has taken off in the United States and around the world. Rightfully so, our country is reckoning with its long history of systemic racism and white supremacy. Join the Queens Memory Project for an online discussion with scholars and members of the Queens College community about the historical context of racism in the United States and in the educational system, and what we can do now to create positive change for current and future generations.

This program is the first panel in our 3-part series, titled “How Can We Do Better? Creating a More Just and Inclusive Future.”

This program is sponsored by the Queens Memory COVID-19 Project of Queens College and Queens Public Library, Percy Ellis Sutton SEEK Program, Queens College Black Latinx Faculty Staff Association [BLFSA], and the Center for Ethnic, Racial, and Religious Understanding [CERRU].
