JHU Forums on Race in America April 28, 2015, 6:30 PM Shriver Hall on the Homewood Campus
The national turmoil over racial inequality and community policing in recent months has not gone unnoticed in the Johns Hopkins community.
In Ferguson, Staten Island, North Charleston—and right here in Baltimore—controversy over the treatment of minorities has again turned a spotlight on America’s painful legacy on race. The products of institutionalized racism: police brutality, mass incarceration, separate and unequal schools, and an ever growing wealth gap between black and white Americans causes pain and frustration for our faculty, staff, students, and wider Baltimore community. Discordant views about race in our nation are also present in our classrooms, department meetings, and public spaces on campus.
In keeping with our commitment to diversity, community service, inclusion, and academic freedom, the Johns Hopkins University presents the JHU Forums on Race in America series. These forums will provide an ongoing opportunity for critical analysis and dialogue on the ways that race and racism affect American life and culture
The inaugural JHU Forums on Race in America event will feature a discussion between three of the nation’s leading scholars on race: Ta-Nehisi Coates, The Atlantic National Correspondent, Dr. Nathan Connolly, JHU Assistant Professor of History, and Dr. Debra Furr-Holden, JHU Associate Professor of Mental Health.
