"There is an inherent danger in simplifying racism as merely explicit acts of prejudice and discrimination. This blinds us to the deep-rooted ways racism shapes, and is shaped by, our social structures and systems. To fully address the systemic nature of racism in our society, we must recognize and confront it in all its complexity, working to understand its roots, its manifestations, and its impact on people’s lives." - Prof. Ron Idoko, "Illuminating the Vaccine for Racism"
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Rev. Yvette Davis at davisy@dickinson.edu. Lunch will be provided both days.
