As part of the YWCA's Stand Against Racism day, we hosted an event on "The Absurdity of Race" on April 25. The event included two spoken word performances and a panel discussion on internalized racial oppression. See below for photos, videos of the spoken word performances, and a tweet roundup from the event.
