WORCESTER, Mass. – Raymond A. Winbush, Ph.D., director for the Institute for Urban Research at Morgan State University will give a talk titled “Do We Really Want to Talk About Race?” on March 28 at 4 p.m. in Hogan Suites B/C at the College of the Holy Cross. The talk is free and open to the public.
There will be a panel of five persons from the Holy Cross community — Dr. Allison Bryant Ludden, assistant professor of psychology; Diana Cruz, assistant professor of English; Wendy Huang, psychologist in the College’s Counseling Center; Carissa Lawrence ’07; Melvin Kelley IV '07; and Nikia Kelley ’03 — who will serve as respondents to Winbush’s presentation and the screening of a seven-minute version of the video “A Girl Like Me.”
Winbush is the author of numerous articles on the “politics” of Afrocentricity and the resistance it encounters among scholars who wish to maintain existing intellectual paradigms. He is the author of The Warrior Method: A Program for Rearing Healthy Black Boys (Amistad Press, 2001) and editor of Should America Pay? The Raging Debate on Reparations (Amistad, 2007).
The event is sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Education.
