Whites and Racial Justice

Changing the Legacy of Race & Ethnicity

Moderator Dr. Dwinita Mosby Tyler, the Chief Catalyst and Founder of the Equity Project, and panelists Helen Thorpe, a journalist and the author of four books of narrative nonfiction, and former Colorado Senator Mike Johnston, now the President and CEO of Gary Community Investments, discuss what white people can do to further equity in our society.

Colorado Humanities produced the Changing the Legacy of Race and Ethnicity series of panel discussions for individuals who want to find their own ways to contribute to the fight for justice and human rights. Each panel brings diversity in thought and conversation with community experts.

We’d like to thank our partners, including the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Colorado Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and local sponsors GroundFloor Media, Center Table, Durango Herald, Tate Law, and Arapahoe Libraries.
