A SEAT AT THE TABLE
Stay Woke!
We’re sounding the alarm to WAKE YOU UP! On this episode of A Seat at the Table, we discuss what it really means to be WOKE, and why it’s important to move beyond awareness to action. Morehouse Sociologist, Dr. Adria Welcher takes a seat at the table to explore how being “colorblind” is actually counterproductive. We can’t address racism by pretending it doesn’t exist.
