Race in the decade since Obama
Melody Barnes, Kevin Gaines, Lauretta Charlton
4:00PM - 5:30PM (EST)
Event Details
It's been a decade since President Barack Obama's inauguration. In those 10 years, how have things changed—or not changed—for people of color in the United States? Hear the Miller Center's Melody Barnes, UVA scholar Kevin Gaines, and The New York Times' Lauretta Charlton explore race in America today. Was the "post-racial" era a mirage? Have politics become more or less racialized in the past 10 years? Join us for this timely discussion by reserving a spot below.
This event is part of the 2019 Community MLK Celebration. It is also being held on the third annual National Day of Racial Healing, part of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation’s Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation effort—"a national and community-based process to plan for and bring about transformational and sustainable change, and to address the historical and contemporary effects of racism."
