Wed, Nov 8, 6:00 pm – Episode 2, “Race”

Location: Greenburgh Public Library, 300 Tarrytown Rd, Elmsford

“Race” examines the construct of race as a political invention created to justify the exploitation of African people during slavery and promote white supremacy, while tracing the impact that has had on Black women’s bodies. Video is followed by discussion with Sonica Dixon, labor and immigration attorney, and Jordan Margolis, social worker and anti-racist community organizer.
