Privilege, Power and Difference

The second topic in our Race: Let's Talk About It initiative addresses the controversial issue of "white privilege" - defined as "any advantage that is unearned, exclusive and socially conferred", according to our guest, Allan G. Johnson, author of "Privilege, Power and Difference". On the next Another View we'll talk about the concept of privilege, if it exists, and how it shapes our society and affects race relations. We will also hear from Carla Johnson who shares her feelings about privilege and race after research and soul searching, and Jonathan Zur, Executive Director of the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities shares his perspective on how white privilege affects our youth. It's all on Another View, Friday, November 6 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream us live on this blog!
