Stay Woke: A People's Guide to Making All Black Lives Matter

Presenter: Dr. Tehama Lopez Bunyasi, Assistant Professor at the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution, George Mason University

In this talk, Dr. Lopez Bunyasi will discuss lessons from the current Movement for Black Lives that equip people to become effective racial justice advocates and antiracists. Blending together a wealth of scholarly work with critical reflections from popular culture, Stay Woke sheds light on the precarious nature of Black lives in the United States by unmasking structural racism and explaining how even well-meaning people can reproduce racial inequality.
