'Who We Are - A Chronicle of Racism in America' reexamines 400 years of America’s stolen history through the eyes of civil rights lawyer Jeffery Robinson. From the historical connection of slave patrols to local police departments, through the massacres of communities of freed slaves, to the fact that the essential elements of the practice of modern day slavery continued continued long after the civil war, Robinson challenges us to think about where we started as a country, where we are, and where we want to end up. His words lay bare an all-but-forgotten past, as well as our shared responsibility to create a better country in our lifetimes. Robinson's presentation on the history of racism in America will take place on June 19th and will be accompanied by meticulously curated archival material and enhanced by powerful live performances, including poets and actors doing dramatic live readings of the original source material contained in Robinson's presentation and music by musicians immersed in traditions of African-American liberation.
