Historian and activist Richard W. Thomas has argued that interracial relations have often been 'overshadowed by the disturbing persistence of racism.' In this talk, Whitaker engages this issue, and demonstrates that the largely undetected interracial struggle for racial justice and equality can offer a framework for confronting racism and inequality locally, nationally, and beyond. This talk offers a provocative and proactive approach to many racially loaded issues, such as urban decay, White and Black flight, racialized poverty, hopelessness, the barrier of white apathy and the limits of Black anger. Beginning with the history of interracial coalition building from colonial times to the present, this talk presents a penetrating yet sensitive examination of American race relations, and maintains that blacks, whites, and other people of color must become more aware of our shared history of struggle for equality to eradicate racial injustice and inequality.
