Mon

• Vassar Faculty/Administrator Event College Center, 223, 9:00 am
• Breakfast Seminar led by Frank H. Wu. "Yellow: Race in America: Beyond Black and White" after his book. Wu will discuss the new challenges facing civil rights advocates as the nation faces a profound demographic change, never before made by any society in recorded history: around 2050 or so, we will cease to have a single identifiable racial majority. The consensus we have that racial bigotry is wrong, however, has meant that we also have to come to believe - erroneously - racial discrimination is a problem of the past. How will we develop a new paradigm for advancing social justice? Open to Vassar faculty and administrators. Please RSVP to Lynn Owen in the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action at ext. 7584 or email lyowen@vassar.edu by Monday, November 19.
