One Race:
The Human Race.
Founded in 2017 in Denver, Colorado by Al Harrell and Angie Arkin, the Symposium on Race strives to create a safe space for open discussion about issues of race in today's society. Since its inception our members have facilitated discussions on such topics as intersectionality, race in education, implicit bias, and interrogating whiteness. We have also had presentations by Arthur McFarlane, great-grandson of W.E.B. DuBois.
Our Next Symposium:
July 8, 2020 at 6pm via Zoom
“The Rise of Anti-Asian American Hate Incidents, and What You Can Do to Help Stop Them.” Our Symposium on Race Member, KENZO KAWANABE will be presenting for all who wish to attend.
