Roy Wilkins Center

Minnesota is often praised for its high quality of life, excellent education, top-tier health care, and overall livability. Yet, beneath this reputation of prosperity lies a harsh reality: significant racial disparities impacting its BIPOC residents. Professor Samuel L. Myers, Jr. offers his insights into the roots of these inequities. 💬https://ow.ly/FBHn50VcYCQ Roy Wilkins Center

Our School’s Roy Wilkins Center for Human Relations and Social Justice co-hosted the 6th World Conference on Remedies to Racial and Social Inequality in South Africa last week. Co-sponsored by The University of the Western Cape, the conference brought together academic, policy, and community leaders from around the world to formulate solutions to eliminating racial and social inequality.
