The UK Center for Equality and Social Justice, in collaboration with the Martin Luther King Center and the Department of African American & Africana Studies is pleased to host the author of “So You Want to Talk About Race,” Ijeoma Oluo, for two campus events March 26th, 2019.
In her New York Times bestseller, Ijeoma Oluo explores the complex reality of today's racial landscape--from white privilege and police brutality to systemic discrimination and the Black Lives Matter movement--offering straightforward clarity that readers need to contribute to the dismantling of the racial divide. Perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between people of color and white Americans struggling with race complexities, Oluo answers the questions readers don't dare ask, and explains the concepts that continue to elude everyday Americans.
