“I’m Not Racist … Am I?”: A Conversation on Antiracism
September 10, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
The Asian American Center and the Carolina Asia Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are proud to co-present “Anti-Blackness and Alliance: A Series on Asian-Black Race Relations,” public events which will take place over the course of the 2020-21 academic year.
The series brings a wide variety of speakers together to discuss the history and contemporary landscape of Asian-Black interconnections in politics and culture. Anti-Blackness and alliance are only two of the ways to describe these connections, and rather than viewing them as opposites, the audience is asked to question how these modes and others can coexist and conflict with each other.
The first event will be on September 10 at 7pm. “I’m Not Racist … Am I?”: A Conversation on Antiracism” featuring Barb Lee, founder and president of Point Made Films, and Prof. Michelle Robinson (Department of American Studies, UNC Chapel Hill). Registered participants will receive an access code to watch the documentary for free.
The film I’m Not Racist… Am I? documents a racially and economically diverse group of remarkable teenagers and their families as they plunged into a year-long journey to get at the heart of racism. Consulting company Point Made Learning brings creative, story-based education to institutions and organizations that are serious about inclusion. They have delivered programs to countless schools and corporations around the country, and support those who are ready to start the conversation about racism and equity.
