Why is race still an uncomfortable subject to talk about in the United States? At this event Rich Benjamin, Demos senior fellow and author of Searching for Whitopia: An Improbable Journey to the Heart of White America, and Tim Wise, author of Between Barack & A Hard Place: Racism & White Denial in the Age of Obama, will discuss white America's struggle to talk about race.

Baltimore, MD 21201

The event is free and open to the public.

This event in the Talking About Race series is cosponsored by Demos.

Talking About Race, cosponsored by the Enoch Pratt Free Library, addresses how we talk (or do not talk) about race from different perspectives and why it is imperative that we discuss this subject openly and thoughtfully.
