Honest Dialogue about Race, Diversity, and Privilege

Robert Jensen, an associate professor in the School of Journalism at the University of Texas at Austin, will will speak tonight on “The Reality of Race, Gender, and Class Privilege: Beyond the Politics of Diversity” from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Southern Human Services Center on Homestead Road. According to the Chapel Hill News, this is to be a "honest dialogue about race, diversity and privilege." How unfortunate that it has received so little publicity.

A couple of references on Dr. Jensen's work on racism:
White Privilege Shapes the U.S.
Why White People are Afraid
