March is Racial Capitalism Month
The Harvard Law Review aptly defined racial capitalism as “the process of deriving value from the racial identity of others, harming the individuals affected and society as a whole.” Racial capitalism is not a thing of the past, but a systemic force that continues today. The commodification of racial identity. The overvaluation of whiteness. These are but a few of the many dimensions of racial capitalism that we’ll explore in this series.
This series of workshops will unpack racial capitalism, its historical context and impact today. Our featured guests will includeDestin Jenkins,Renee Hatcher, and Kyera Singleton.
