Welcome to Strategies For Action!

Join us for this live, online virtual event featuring  Dr. Julian Chambliss

In this presentation, we will explore the roots of antiblack social, political, and economic practices in the United States. Far from the accidental consequences of a radical few, white supremacy is rooted in a systemic embrace of oppression adopted after the Civil War. Black people and white allies have fought against these practices for more than a century. This presentation will build our understanding of the myths that fuel antiblack racism and empower us to reject their crippling legacy.
