Now Available on Demand! Surviving and Thriving: Conversations About Community Violence and COVID-19: White Supremacy Resurgences and Cultural Healing Responses for Asian, Native, and Black American Youth
Despite stated principles of inclusion as U.S. policy, “White supremacy” culture has systematically served as the formation, foundation, and expression of institutional racism throughout U.S. history by employing institutional policies and cultural conflicts of “divide and conquer” between different communities. The current and concerning rise in attacks against Asian-Americans reflects an underlying societal problem that requires urgent and radical healing approaches to pull out the roots of racism, dismantle White supremacist structures, and shift toward more pluralistic, mutually supportive, and trauma-informed relationships in society. This webinar addresses these issues through a panel discussion and subsequent recommendations for forward progress.
