In the wake of the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer, many have engaged in conversations about race and racism, especially those who truly believed America was a "post-racial" society. But what about the people who remain silent, either out of fear, denial, or determined acceptance that racism and racist actions will always be a part of the American fabric? We begin our Race: Let's Talk About It conversation: When Silence Speaks Volumes. How does silence actually perpetuate racism and racist actions? What is the right way to talk about such a sensitive subject? How do well meaning people keep racist actions "alive" through behaviors called microaggressions? Who's responsibility is it to speak up and call out racist actions? Panelists Dr. Cassandra Newby-Alexander, Historian and Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at Norfolk State University; Dr. Eric Claville, Director of the Center for African American Public Policy at Norfolk State University; and Veronica Gallardo - Casemate Museum Operations and Collections Manager, Fort Monroe Authority, and Jonathan Zur, President/CEO of the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities speak candidly about these issues.We invite you to join our conversation at noon on Another View - and then again at 6:30 PM for our virtual Race: Let's Talk About It Town Hall.
