Understanding Structural Racism
540WMain Learning Academy in collaboration with the Rochester Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative presents:
Understanding Structural Racism
This group facilitated discussion unpacks the components and meaning of structural racism in the United States and how the system continues to oppress marginalized voices in present day.
Three pillars of structural racism, its historical context, and how they affect persons of color in Rochester and beyond will be the foundation of this class which will include a mix of Q&A, presentation, and group learning.:
1. Housing
2. Prison System
3. Political Systems
Students will be tasked with challenging individual stereotypes, biases, and ways of being as well as developing actions they can individually and collectively take to dismantle these oppressive systems.
