Racist Terrorism in Buffalo:
How the Mainstreaming of White Supremacy Puts the Nation at Risk with Tim Wise
About this event
Proceeds will go to Black Love Resists in the Rust (Buffalo, NY.)
In this presentation, anti-racist educator Tim Wise examines how overt racism has increasingly penetrated American political discourse and has contributed to terrorist violence, most recently in Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Charlottesville, El Paso, and Charleston.
Having begun his career in the campaigns to defeat Neo-Nazi David Duke in his runs for political office, Wise has witnessed a 30-year process of radicalization on the right and can speak directly to how racist dog-whistles—long a staple in American politics—became full-fledged bullhorns.
Tim Wise is among the most prominent anti-racist writers and educators in the United States. He has spent the past 25 years speaking to audiences in all 50 states, on over 1500 college and high school campuses, at hundreds of professional and academic conferences, and to community groups. He has also trained corporate, government, entertainment, media, law enforcement, military, and medical industry professionals on methods for dismantling racial inequity in their institutions. Wise is the author of nine books and regularly appears on CNN and MSNBC and other media outlets to discuss race issues.
