The eighth annual Race in 21st Century America conference takes place April 9-10 at the Kellogg Hotel and Conference Center.
The conference assembles leading scholars, community activists, public officials and residents, representing racial, ethnic, gender and ideological diversity, to participate in an important conversation with the MSU community about the problem of race in America.
Though the conference will cover a number of areas, the theme this year is Race and Immigration. The race conference is fundamentally designed to examine systems of power and privilege in the United States, especially the ways in which they impact communities of color.
Specific goals and strategies that promote democratic, yet radically transformative, social, economic and political structures will also be identified. The project is not simply about identifying and examining problems, but especially proposing actionable recommendations for addressing twenty-first century challenges.
