Join us today at 1pm ET to explore the term"colored" and how this classification become culture. Share with a colleague and we will see you soon!
We are thrilled to share that Keseb will be hosting and moderating an exciting and timely series of conversations throughout the course of the 2024 mega election year, where more than 4 billion global citizens will head to the polls to exercise their democratic right to vote. The series will create a virtual space for an exchange of ideas across borders, building a transnational platform to discuss the aspects of democracy at stake in the elections taking place this year. Our inaugural discussion on January 30th will delve into the intersection of race, civic identity, and self-expression. The dialogue will explore the term “Coloured,” an identity deeply embedded in South African culture, yet one that carries a negative connotation in the United States as it calls back to the oppressive Jim Crow era. Joining this conversation are two Keseb Fellows: PushBlack CEO Julian Walker will interview Tessa Dooms, the Director of Programmes at Rivonia Circle and co-author of the recent book, “Coloured: How Classification Became Culture.” Don't miss the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural nuances and historical contexts surrounding the term “Coloured” and how identities inform and shape people’s political engagement.
