Talk: We Gon' Be Alright: Race & Resegregation

The UC San Diego Institute of Arts and Humanities (IAH) invites you to attend a special talk as part of the Challenging Conversations event series. Police violence, mass incarceration, and issues of race and representation in Hollywood plague us. And resegregation is quietly pushing us back. After so much unrest and tragedy - how can our communities heal? What can we expect for race relations in a changing, polarized America? To Chang, not all is lost. ?Culture moves before politics,? says Jeff Chang, who writes on art, multiculturalism, and racial progress in post-civil rights America with the sweeping authority of the best social historians. In his new book We Gon? Be Alright, he explores the meaning of diversity in an era of racial and economic resegregation: telling a lively and tumultuous narrative of modern American life. - Event is open to the public. Light refreshments will be provided. Seating is limited. Guest parking is available in the Pangea Parking Garage, though requires a paid guest permit, purchased from the kiosk.
