About this Event
Join author Ralph Remington in conversation on his latest book, Penetrating Whiteness: How White Supremacy Built America. At a time when America faces escalating racial tensions, the re-emergence of white nationalist movements, and growing threats to democracy, Penetrating Whiteness is an urgently needed clarion call.
This powerful and timely collection of essays offers piercing insights into the realities of racism, sexism, homophobia, and the damaging legacy of Donald Trump's divisive presidency. Into this powder keg moment steps Remington, one of America's leading Black multi-sector voices on identity, social justice, and the path toward racial healing. His essays boldly confront the uncomfortable truths about the persisting toxicity of white supremacy and systemic discrimination.
