CURB Lunchtime Seminar On Structural Racism

Advocacy group Citizens Uprooting Racism In Bermuda [CURB] continues its weekly series of free lunchtime seminars at the Bermuda National Gallery this week with a presentation titled “Is Bermuda a post-racial society?”

Being held at the City Hall facility on Wednesday [Apr. 24], CURB’s Cordell Riley and Lynne Winfield will address the concept of structural racism and how does it manifests itself in contemporary Bermuda.

This lecture — which lasts from 12.30-1.30 p.m. – is a continuation of the presentation “Bermuda’s Hidden History”, which detailed past legislation that led to economic disparity and inequities.

“In 1971 the last piece of legislation was passed to desegregate primary schools,” said a CURB spokesman. “How far have we come since then? What do the statistics show us today? Have we truly reached ‘equality’?”
