It is no secret that social disparities are prevalent in marginalized communities. The current climate of racism, white supremacy, anger, fear and divisiveness in America is having significant impact on many children and adults. Join us for the inaugural installment of our #ThisIsAmerica social justice series for a stimulating discussion as we learn about and analyze systems of oppression that affect minority communities. Topics covered range from how students of color living in poverty are supported by their community, the mental health disparities among minority communities and racial profiling of African Americans during COVID-19 to the issues of obesity and food insecurity among minority communities, especially for African American women, and the ways racial equity supports nutritional health.

Topic: Political Social Work

Presenter: Tanya Rhodes Smith, MSW, Instructor in Residence and Director of the Nancy A. Humphreys Institute for Political Social Work.

The goal of this community conversation is to recognize and commit to thwarting the anti-black sentiment that pervades within the Hispanic community by sharing experiences and anti-racist strategies that can be used to eliminate anti-blackness in personal interactions and social work practice. We are inviting folks to share their experiences and perspectives related to the theme of anti-blackness and the forms of resistance they implement to reduce its destructive effects especially in Hispanic communities. During this event our distinguished facilitators will guide the conversation ensuring that perspectives are historically and culturally grounded.
