SUMMARY:Library: VIRTUAL: Racism and Civil Rights with David Kalivas
DESCRIPTION:We have reached a critical time as Supreme Court cases and some state laws have eroded civil and voting rights protections along with a resurgence of white supremacist activities across the country. This has contributed to increased discontent and polarization with no clear resolution and these challenges weaken the bonds of our communities. Unfortunately\, racism and the struggle for civil rights and equity is not new to the American experience and to help us understand the historical context on where we find ourselves as a society\, Dr. David Kalivas will offer an analysis of the history of racism and civil rights in the United States. \nSign up for the link here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/8317443136496/WN_y8pH4KTLR-Wh4xhnaANdNA#/registration
