lets talk about race

New America Media has just completed a national poll on race relations between Black, Hispanic, and Asians. And we would very much would like to invite your participation our media event on Friday, December 14.

This first-of-its-kind multilingual poll of Black, Hispanic and Asian Americans finds a multi-ethnic America that is at once divided by race and ethnic tension, while at the same time optimistic about a more harmonious multi-ethnic future. All three groups underscore racial tensions among them as a serious problem demanding attention, and share negative stereotypes of each other. Yet these same majorities also believe that race relations will improve significantly over the next 10 years.

Viewed in historical perspective, the poll is a benchmark for America's evolution as a global society. Unlike earlier European (White) immigrants to America who often advanced by setting themselves apart from African Americans, today's Hispanics and Asians see themselves as belonging to the same country as the Blacks and Whites preceding them. Pointedly, both Asians and Hispanics acknowledge that Black America forged the path for their own assimilation through the civil rights movement. And all three groups believe that advances by each will benefit the other, and describe their futures as interdependent. All three expect that time will improve race relations.

Please join us for a full presentation of the poll results to be followed by a diverse panel of speakers on the future of our society.
Below please find an invite with details for the media briefing event. Parking is free.
