Post Racial?: The Paradox of Color in 21st Century America

The presidential campaign of Barack Obama electrified American voters like no election in decades - ushering in for many the post-racial era. More than ever, America seemed poised to leave its centuries-old racial dilemma on the pages of history. Post Racial gauges how this noble concept matches up to our contemporary reality. Looking forward to America’s future elections, a prominent group of writers, activists, academics, and media personalities gathered at Harvard Law School to offer a variety of provocative views on race in the age of Obama. Today, this insightful and hard-hitting discussion - powerfully presented here by Harvard Law lecturer and Tom Joyner Morning Show political commentator, Stephanie Robinson - is a timely and relevant racial barometer for how far we have come as a nation, and how far we have yet to go.
