Dr. Carol Swain - New White Nationalism

Centennial Institute's Distinguished Speaker Series Dr. Carol Swain Monday, December 4, 2017 Colorado Christian University According to Gallup, race relations are far lower today than they were in the early 2000s. In fact, race relations hit an all-time low in 2015. How do we understand what is happening to race relations in America? How do we navigate these complexities and remain united as Americans? How does the public square engage with the messages from groups like Black Lives Matter and the Alt-Right? Dr. Carol Swain, author of the books: The New White Nationalism in America, Race Versus Class, and Black Faces, Black Interests, will help explore these important issues. A black conservative, Dr. Swain has been unfairly smeared by the liberal Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as an “apologist for white supremacists.” From high school dropout and teenage mother to highly accomplished university professor and public intellectual, Dr. Carol M. Swain is passionate about empowering others to confidently raise their voices in the public square. Dr. Swain’s education and experiences make her a credible and powerful force for change in today’s social and political climate where conservatives are intimidated to champion an often-unpopular message.
