Race Matters examines the nomenclature of race, class, gender, and culture, and how they intersect with past historical phenomena and present narratives. The ubiquitous nature of racism is real, as well as how it is interpreted. Race Matters seeks to discuss the critical nature of how we talk about race, and our moral obligation to confront.
