In the first installment of PNW’s Race, Racism, Anti-Racism series, Lee Artz, Ph.D speaks with Black Agenda Report executive editor Glen Ford about pressing social and racial injustices that plaque our societies. The presentation happened live on Zoom on September 3, 2020. Check out this important discussion! This Zoom-based series features monthly presentations by scholars, journalists, and civic representatives addressing multiple aspects of racism and anti-racism. Since the brutal killing of George Floyd, millions of Americans and people in other countries have been shocked and outraged. Hundreds of protests have been held in cities large and small across America – perhaps the largest demonstrations against racism since the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. Urgent questions about inequality, racial discrimination, and police violence have opened up a national dialogue.
