Event Details:<br>
<br>
Online harms legislation, hate crimes units, appealing to Big Tech to censor speech are all being touted as “anti-racist” solutions. Join Desmond Cole, El Jones and Adolph Reed, Jr. as they discuss the legacy of the Black Radical tradition, free speech, and
the current state of left organizing across borders. Is EDI the answer? What is the role of class in current struggle? Are identity politics counter-revolutionary? These questions and more animate a broader debate about racial politics in the “post George
Floyd” era. <br>
