The Voices: A Library Lecture Series committee is pleased to present the film White Like Me: Race, Racism & White Privilege in America on Tuesday, Feb. 18, from noon to 1:50 p.m. in the BTC Auditorium.
White Like Me, the film based on the work of acclaimed anti-racist educator and author Tim Wise, explores race and racism in the United States through the lens of whiteness and white privilege. The film shows how white privilege continues to shape individual attitudes and government policy in ways too many white people never stop to think about.
Dr. Paul E. Calarco Jr., assistant professor of sociology at Hudson Valley, explores the impact of this powerful film and will facilitate a discussion following the film showing.
This presentation also will be video streamed.
