Dr. William T.Lewis, Sr.
Presents
The Beyond Color Blind Tour
Taking Action Against Racial
Injustice in America
Join Dr. William T. Lewis Sr., nationally recognized diversity, equity and inclusion thought leader on his BEYOND COLOR BLIND TOUR: Taking Action Against Racial Injustice in America
Drawing from his experiences as a former higher education chief diversity officer, an adjunct faculty and a diversity, equity and inclusion consultant, Dr. Lewis will share big ideas, personal experiences and relevant solutions regarding taking action against racial injustice in America.
You can ask the hard questions about racial injustice free from being shamed or blamed.
You will receive real and relevant action steps to enact change.
You will hear a refreshing voice of information and inspiration.
You will have a safe space to learn and develop.
You will laugh despite the seriousness of the topic.
What is my why?
During times of racial crisis, I have heard my black friends, family and colleagues state that they are tired of having to "teach" white people how to be civil and humane to black people. And at the same time, my white friends and colleagues are looking for nuanced knowledge about race relations in America.
I have committed myself to stand in the gap and be the bridge between the fatigue of "teaching" and the thirst for knowledge.
What's the meaning of Beyond Color Blind?
I have often heard this statement from my white friends and colleagues, "I do not see color!" Although this statement is usually expressed in the spirit of goodwill, it misses a major reality, since 1619 America has seen color, principally Black and White. The eradication of systematic racism is an intentional and ongoing process that calls upon each American citizen be aware that America's present has been colored by Her past. So, to change, we must see color.
