As mainstream corporate charities and organisations rush to develop their diversity and inclusion agendas after the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests last summer, the real meaning of anti-racism is being lost.
In this talk we look into:
- How the struggle against racism has been de-politicised.
- How tackling state and, institutional racism collectively has been supplanted by notions of overcoming individual adversity.
- How the illusion of ‘meritocracy’ has taken root in black middle-class professionals and impacted the anti-racist movement.
Join our speakers for a discussion:
- Wilf Sullivan – Chair
- Suresh Grover – The Monitoring Group
- Pragna Patel – Southall Black Sisters
- Chantelle Lewis – Surviving Society Podcast
