SpeakOut Ed Talks - Examining Latinidad at the Crossroads of Race, Culture, and COVID-19

What are the ways Latinx people in the U.S. experience long-standing systemic racism and social inequities? Leading scholar-practitioner and bold national voice on racial justice, Dr. Michael Benitez Jr. delves into this question as the country commemorates Latinx/Hispanic History Month.

Dr. Benitez  also explores the ways in which culture and racial politics such as colorism and anti-Black racism intersect among Latinx communities, and how Latinx people experience, navigate, and negotiate the U.S. in the midst of COVID-19 and racial unrest.
