Looking at the Costs of Racism in America. Presented by: Kendra Golden

Join Zoom Meeting - October 5th - Looking at the Costs of Racism in America. Presented by: Kendra Golden

In her 2021 book, economic and social policy expert Heather McGhee travels across America exploring what is lost when we buy into the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. She tells some fascinating stories and offers compassionate solutions.

This 1½ hour presentation will begin with an in-depth interview of Heather McGhee, author of The Sum of Us:  What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together.  Heather is interviewed by Khalil Gibran Muhammad, Professor of History, Race and Public Policy at Harvard. Following the video there will be about ½ hour for discussion. Video link, https://www.c-span.org/video/?508039-2/after-words-heather-mcghee
