The New School Centennial: 400 Years of Inequality

WNSR New School Radio

Among the events being presented at The Festival of New are under the heading 400 Years of Inequality, and seek to link recognition of the 400th anniversary of the first enslaved African-Americans in Jamestown in 1619 with the New School's celebration of its social justice mission. One of the organizers, faculty member Robert Sember, sees anniversaries as an opportunity to recalibrate our moral compass. He talks about the thinking that led to 400 Years of Inequality.
