The new TEDxExeter talk by Dexter Dias QC, Racism wants your silence: it's time to speak out, is now live on TED Talks. In this talk Dexter uses his three decades' experience of representing the families of people of colour who have been killed in state custody to expose how "race" is a myth used to justify inequality and discrimination. He argues that racism needs our silence. The antidote is for us commit to being anti-racist. And the time is now. #blacklivesmatters #racism #WeAreDevon #humanrights #discrimination #antiracism #TEDTalks #TEDxExeter #TEDx

About us
TEDxExeter is an independent TEDx event operated under license from TED. It is not being organised by the TED conferences — this is an independent TEDx event organised by volunteers. What is TED? TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences -- the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh UK each summer -- TED includes the award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxExeter, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxExeter event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
