In 2020 and in the early days of this new year, we have been powerfully reminded that institutionalized racism is still active in our country. Those of us who thought we eliminated racism in the 60s or welcomed a post-racial world with the election of Barack Obama learned it wasn't so. In February, we welcome back Olivia Kinzler, Lawrence Edwards, Celeste Austin, and Calvin Johnson, to offer their reflections on race relations in the United States. Their talks may inform, challenge, and/or inspire us as they speak during Black History Month. Here are the topics for each of the Wednesday lunchtime conversations: 2/3 - Calvin Johnson - Events that have shaped race relations in the U.
