Beyond Barack: Being Black in "Post-Racial" America

Join us for a discussion of race in “post-racial” America. Ashley R. Oliver, Esq., a graduate of the University of St. Thomas Law School and the current Chair of the Legal Redress Committee of the Minneapolis NAACP will introduce the topic and lead a panel of young black professionals who will share their individual experiences.

“Because the Courts have eliminated statutory racial discrimination and Congress has enacted civil rights legislation, and because some minority people have achieved some measure of success, many people believe that racism is no longer a problem in American life. The continuing existence of racism becomes apparent however, when we look beneath the surface of our national life.” ~ U.S. Bishops
