2018 Equity in the Center Closing Keynote on Facing Whiteness

Keynote Speech

Speaker: Dr. Heather Hackman, Founder, Hackman Consulting Group

Description: Even in spaces where racism is named, there is often a lack of willingness to call attention to whiteness as the core driving dynamic of racial oppression in the US. Hackman will explore white privilege and supremacy as the continual catalyst for structural racism, and highlight the role of white leaders in dismantling a system designed to preference them and oppress Native people and people of color.
