Choosing Racial Literacy

Day/Time: Thursday, June 3 at 8:30 am EDT

Race impacts everything and everyone, but the first time Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi remember talking about it in school was in 10th grade. Since then, they’ve traveled to all 50 states, listening to personal stories about race and intersectionality and finding ways to pair them to systematic research. Now they're on a mission to equip fellow students with the tools to understand, navigate and challenge a world structured by racial division. Join Winona and Priya to hear them discuss what it’s like to advocate for racial literacy in schools as young people, and what they’ve learned along the way.
