As this year exposed an unprecedented disparity growth between the wealthy and the working class, this discussion between Lumumba Akinwole-Bandele and invited guest, Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly, will examine the dynamics that allow for and foster extreme wealth and extreme poverty at the same time.

Additionally, we will explore the role institutional racism plays in this dynamic. We will examine what a truly just society can look like outside of capitalism, as well as explore contemporary work rooted in challenging and dismantling racial capitalism.
