Breaking the Cycle: How Racism is Embedded in Laws, History, Schools, and Society

On April 27th, 2026, there will be a Creative Project Presentation in F.W. Olin Room 105 from 3:05 PM to 3:45 PM focused on understanding how racism has developed over time and how it continues to influence society today. This presentation will explore the ways racism is connected to historical events, legal systems, education, and everyday experiences.

The presentation will be given by Kaddy Maravilla, Myla Wolf, Alexis Bolte, Jaylon Hardeman, and Berlin Galley as  part of Dr. Moore’s Schools, Society & Diversity class. This session will look at how racism operates beyond individual actions by examining the larger systems and structures that shape opportunities and outcomes. Participants will be encouraged to reflect, engage in discussion, and think critically about how past and present are connected.

All are welcome to attend.
