Colorism: Its Historical Roots and Stories Across the Diaspora #RootsandFutures #plugnetwork

Dr. Jasmine Harris and Dr. Pius Kamau discuss the nuanced relationship between race, beauty standards, and power. They also address global implications of colorism, making connections between African, American, and Middle Eastern contexts, while emphasizing the need for continued dialogue and education on the subject.

"American colorism is so unique. The system that simultaneously establishes this racial hierarchy in the United States is also the same system then that creates an entire cohort of people who can't be classified in that hierarchy the way that it was created." — Dr. Jasmine Harris

"History does not end. History is a continuous stream, continuous river, and it manifests in different appearances, different forms." — Dr. Pius Kamau
