Clark Atlanta University
Project Title
For support of a symposium examining race relations and economic inequality
Date
Mar. 08, 2018
Duration
12 months
Description
As partisan politics continue to divide rather than bridge society’s differences, national conversations on social and economic inequalities have been on the rise. Income inequality in the United States has reached heights not seen since the Great Depression, and historically marginalized communities continue to struggle for their voices to be heard by elected officials. With Corporation support, Clark Atlanta University will host a two-day symposium examining race relations and economic inequality in the United States. Focusing on the still relevant scholarship of W.E.B. Du Bois and Martin Luther King, Jr., the symposium will promote a vibrant intellectual community, encourage scholarship across disciplines, and advance teaching in the social sciences and humanities, with a focus on mitigating economic and social inequality.
