Please join us on Wednesday, February 21 at 3pm ET
for a conversation with Dr. Juliet Hooker, Royce Family Professor of Teaching Excellence in Political Science at Brown University and author of the new book, Black Grief/White Grievance: The Politics of Loss.
Alliance for Justice President Rakim H.D. Brooks will join Dr. Hooker for a conversation on how Black grief and white grievance have shaped our nation and what it means for our future.
In her new book, Dr. Hooker examines how Black grief and white grievance impacts racial politics in the United States. Black grief and white grievance are not new concepts in our society, and Dr. Hooker explains how current events, like the Black Lives Matter protests, continue a historical pattern of Black citizens making heroic sacrifices to expand US democracy. She also dives into how white supremacy has fostered expectations of political rule in white citizens that make it difficult for them to accept legitimate political loss.
Holding Court: Black Grief/White Grievance will take place via StreamYard and streamed through AFJ’s YouTube channel, Facebook page, Twitter page, and LinkedIn page.
You can sign up to listen to the conversation here. StreamYard webinars do not have automatic captioning, but the event will be streamed on YouTube and Facebook, both of which have captions. The event will be recorded.
