SUMMARY:Tim Wise on White Privilege: Uprooting Racism\, Privilege and Institutional Inequity Organizer
DESCRIPTION: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. \nTim 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. \nWise’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. \nFrom 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. \nWise 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.” \n  \nTickets available $35-60\, http://bit.ly/2xEVhJr \nLincoln Training Institute: http://lincolnfamilies.org/
