Diversity Discussion Group at ALA Midwinter

Diversity Discussion Group: White Privilege

Whiteness is a concept that must be defined historically. Throughout history, the belief that Whiteness does not exist nor is it privileged has persisted. We will uncover how White privilege has evolved, how it is perpetuated today and what we can do in our roles to unhinge its power. Come to this discussion group and learn how to put knowledge into action.
