As COVID-19 has swept across the United States, it has unmasked and amplified existing racial inequities.  Rampant fear and misinformation has provoked a wave of discrimination, harassment, and hate targeting those of Chinese and Asian descent.  The disease has also had a disproportionate toll on historically marginalized populations, including African Americans and Native Americans, due to unequal access to health care, residential segregation, poverty, and incarceration.  Join a conversation that will situate these developments within the long history of racism, exclusion, and scapegoating in the United States.  On June 8 at 4 PM, panelists will discuss strategies to address marginalization and empower impacted communities.

Panelists:

• Andy Kim, Congressman from New Jersey’s 3rd District
• Beth Lew-Williams, Associate Professor of History, Princeton University
• Keith Wailoo, Chair and Henry Putnam University Professor of History and Public Affairs
• Helen Zia ’73, Activist and author
• Aly Kassam-Remtulla, Associate Provost for International Affairs, Princeton University (moderator)
