Description

When the first Black president headed into the White House, Americans were
imagining their nation as colorblind and went so far as to call it
post-racial. With the arrival of Donald Trump, many people are awakening
and seeing racial reality for the first time. With opened minds, people are
actively trying to understand racism. In this deeply personal and
empowering lecture, Kendi shifts the discussion from how not to be racist,
to how to be an antiracist. He shares his own racist ideas and how he
overcame them. He provides direction to people and institutions who want
more than just band-aid programs, but actual antiracist action that builds
an antiracist America.

Ibram X. Kendi is Professor of History and International Relations and the
Founding Director of the Antiracist Research and Policy Center at American
University. He is a frequent public speaker who speaks with great expertise
and compassion about the findings of his book and how they can fit into the
national conversation on racial and social justice.

Kendi has received research fellowships, grants, and visiting appointments
from a variety of universities, foundations, professional associations, and
libraries, including the American Historical Association, Library of
Congress, National Academy of Education, Spencer Foundation, Lyndon B.
Johnson Library & Museum, Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis, Brown
University, Princeton University, Duke University, University of Chicago,
and UCLA. Most recently, he was named a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow for his work.

The Racial Equity Speaker series consists of events throughout the year
with speakers highlighting national and regional racial equity issues.

Thank you to our partners, Casey Family Programs, Grantmakers of Oregon and
Southwest Washington, and Portland Community College Foundation.
