Tim Wise on White Privilege: Uprooting Racism, Privilege and Institutional Inequity Organizer
2017-09-19 09:00 - 12:30 | First Congregational Church of Oakland, 2501 Harrison Street, Oakland, CA, 94612, United States
Lincoln Training Institute is excited to announce that Tim Wise, prominent anti-racist essayist and educator, will provide an opportunity to examine what it means to be white in a nation created for the benefit of those who are “white like him,” and how privilege seeps into every institutional arrangement, from education to employment to the justice system.
Tim Wise, whom scholar and philosopher Cornel West calls, “A vanilla brother in the tradition of (abolitionist) John Brown,” is among the nation’s most prominent anti-racist essayists and educators. He has spent the past 25 years speaking to audiences in all 50 states, on over 1000 college and high school campuses, at hundreds of professional and academic conferences, and to community groups across the nation. He has also lectured internationally in Canada and Bermuda, and has trained corporate, government, law enforcement and medical industry professionals on methods for dismantling racism in their institutions.
Wise’s antiracism work traces back to his days as a college activist in the 1980s, fighting for divestment from (and economic sanctions against) apartheid South Africa. After graduation, he threw himself into social justice efforts full-time, as a Youth Coordinator and Associate Director of the Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism: the largest of the many groups organized in the early 1990s to defeat the political candidacies of white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.
From there, he became a community organizer in New Orleans’ public housing, and a policy analyst for a children’s advocacy group focused on combating poverty and economic inequity. He has served as an adjunct professor at the Smith College School of Social Work, in Northampton, MA., and from 1999-2003 was an advisor to the Fisk University Race Relations Institute in Nashville, TN.
Wise is the author of seven books, including his highly-acclaimed memoir, White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son, as well as Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority, and his latest, Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor, Praising the Rich and Sacrificing the Future of America. He has contributed chapters or essays to over 25 additional books and his writings are taught in colleges and universities across the nation. His essays have appeared on Alternet, Salon, Huffington Post, Counterpunch, Black Commentator, BK Nation, Z Magazine and The Root, which recently named Wise one of the “8 Wokest White People We Know.”

Where Do We Go From Here? A Conversation with Attorney John L. Burris
2017-08-23 17:00 - 19:30 | CA
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? A conversation with Attorney John L. Burris, moderated by Renee Kemp
Protecting OUR Civil Rights: Extremism, Hate Speech, Voting Rights, Disenfranchisement, Police Brutality and Anti-Colin Kaepernick sentiments:
This event is FREE with limited seating. RSVP required
Acclaimed Civil Rights Attorney John L. Burris is the featured subject of a moderated discussion to illuminate the weight of injustice in this current climate of civil and racial unrest. Following a two-term US presidency of the first African American to hold the office—today–it appears many want to return to the era of Jim Crow segregation.
John L. Burris has practiced law for more than 40 years. He is primarily known for his work in the areas of Civil Rights with an emphasis on police misconduct excessive force cases raising federal questions under Federal Code Section 1983. Proceeds benefit The Chicago Reporter, a nonprofit entity, founded more than 40 years ago to be a watchdog for racial and economic justice.
“Racial peace and progress are more than moral ideals today,” co-editors John A. McDermott and Lillian Calhoun wrote in July 1972. “They are matters of profound self-interest to every person and institution in this community.”
A nonprofit media entity, The Chicago Reporter, was founded on the heels of The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. TODAY, it is a steady voice reporting on the impact of race and poverty on vulnerable communities.
This important work must continue—YOUR SUPPORT IS CRITICAL. Donations to The Chicago Reporter are requested
