A Catalyst for Humanity
A Conversation with Isabel Wilkerson
Moderated by CNN anchor Don Lemon. An exploration of embedded power inequities in American society -- and their cost to us now and in the future.
What are the invisible social strata that define and divide America? How does this unseen ranking underlie racism? And how do caste dynamics systematically lessen the value of Black lives? Join Pulitzer Prize winner Isabel Wilkerson, author of Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, and esteemed social scientist David Williams for a conversation about embedded power inequities--and their cost to us all. Moderated by CNN anchor Don Lemon.
