With Black history scholars and scholarship under attack, this is a critical time to expose college students, and everyone else, to what researchers are discovering and sharing about Black history.

Ending Racism USA is working with The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) to facilitate events on university and college campuses so students can view livestreamed sessions from ASALH’s 108th Annual Conference in September 2023.

When:

Wed, Sep 20 - Sun, Sep 24, 2023; All day

Twitter Town Hall

Yes to social media, no to Twitter

Ending Racism USA announced our decision to quit Twitter, now called X, as an act to resist its inappropriate use of social media which includes allowing and profiting from hate speech and using our data for free.

Our Twitter Town Hall discussed why it is important to heighten our awareness of the benefits and the challenges that may arise as society increases its use of various social media platforms.

Videos and resources are shared on this page.
