Webinar: Exposing Myths about Race & Class with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove
Thurs. 1/23, 7-8:30pm EST on Zoom. Reserve your spot and register through Eventbrite.
When all white people are assumed to be middle-class, and when poverty is assumed to be a problem only for African Americans and other people of color, how do those false assumptions distort American politics and interfere with multicultural movement-building?
Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, co-author of White Poverty with Rev. William Barber of the Poor People’s Campaign and Assistant Director for Partnerships and Fellowships at Yale University’s Center for Public Theology and Public Policy, has a vision of reconstructing our democracy that relies on debunking myths about race and class in the US.
In this interactive webinar, part of the Working-Class Studies Association’s Talking Class series, facilitators Jack Metzgar and Betsy Leondar-Wright will draw out Jonathan – and you – about more realistic ways to think about race/class intersections.
