Understanding White Privilege & What it Means to be Anti-Racist
Presented by LEAD San Diego in partnership with JONES
We’re hearing the terms “white privilege” and “anti-racist” frequently these days, but what do they really mean? And, how do you become “anti-racist”? In our next program, we’re going to talk with experts who will help us understand what these terms mean and how we can take action in our daily lives against racist actions. LEAD and partner JONES are bringing together local leaders Jordan Harrison, Lori Nelson, and Gyasi Redding for a conversation about how we talk about race, privilege, and being anti-racist.
