DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio & Marcus Books present "Considering Ferguson...all the 
 Fergusons..."\n\njohn a. powell\nProfessor of Law, Professor of 
 African-American Studies & Ethnic Studies, UC Berkeley\n\nTickets: 
 800-838-3006 or independent bookstores   www.kpfa.org/events \n\n"powell 
 challenges those of us who consider ourselves relatively evolved on issues 
 of race and social justice to think far more critically about the basic 
 assumptions and paradigms that frame our perspectives, animate our 
 scholarship, and drive our advocacy." -Michelle Alexander, author of The 
 New Jim Crow\n\nThe Path to a Fair and Inclusive Society: Seeing the Other 
 in Me is a discourse on how we can work together to create political, 
 economic, and social systems that support individuals in becoming 
 compassionate, competent, and responsible members of the wider community. 
 While justice and fairness are needed to support effective participation, 
 how do we ensure that those who are excluded-whether it be by race, class, 
 gender, disability, sexual orientation, or the like-belong and are included 
 in the circle of human concern? In light of the recent events in Ferguson, 
 Missouri, there is an urgent need to address systemic structural 
 inequalities that police the bodies of some members of society more heavily 
 than others. This dialogue will enable us to inhabit the space of a South 
 African proverb, Sawubona, which means "We see you." By "seeing" the other 
 beyond our differences, we can create community that supports the personal 
 and socially transformative ways of living and being in an increasingly 
 complex and segregated world. \n\njohn a. powell (lower case his choice) is 
 an internationally recognized expert in civil rights and civil liberties as 
 well as a wide range of issues including race, structural racism, 
 ethnicity, housing, poverty, and democracy. \n\nBrian Edwards-Tiekert is a 
 host on UpFront, a KPFA public affairs show weekdays at 7 AM.\n
