Race is the story behind daily headlines in the U.S., from white supremacist rallies, to trials of police officers in the shooting of unarmed black men, to Black Lives Matter protests, to police calls reporting black citizens waiting in Starbucks, and many less publicized incidents. It is impossible to ignore the reality of racism, even in NH and VT, two very white states. This course explores racism from both a historical and personal perspective. The course is interactive, with articles and short videos assigned as preparation for class discussion. The preparation time for each class will be approximately one to three hours.
