Isabelle Wilkerson: Caste

Age Group: Ages 14 – 17 (High School) , Ages 18+ (Adults)
Registration for this event will close on January 15, 2021 @ 7:00pm.

Isabel Wilkerson discusses her critically acclaimed book Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.

In this brilliant book, Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings.
