Confronting Anti-Blackness: Decolonizing “Latinx” Culture

Join the Cultural and Resource Centers for a week-long series of events focusing on confronting anti-Blackness. Each program is a space for intra-community discussions ending with a larger coalitional/inter-community space/dialogue/workshop of how we all are responsible for resisting anti-Blackness.. . . . ** Anti-blackness definition: Anti-Blackness is the personal, cultural, social, legal, and structural devaluing and disenfranchisement of people racialized as Black. Whether intentional or not, anti-Blackness ultimately serves to uphold a system of white supremacy through oppressive policies, institutions, and ideologies.. . . . Join us in the LCC to confront Anti-Blackness within Latinx Culture. Through story-telling, we will honor Afro-Cuban queen’s, Celia Cruz, 78th Birthday. Through an open discussion, facilitated by Angela Godoy and Dr. Jacqueline Lazú, we will unpack the colonial history of Anti-Blackness; Anti-Blackness in Latinx culture; and how to decolonize/prevent Anti-Blackness within the Latinx community. . .
