by Chris Crews

There has been a lot of talk the last few weeks about what an Obama victory might mean for race relations and racism in the US, with people weighting in from all sides. You can find a few examples here, here, here and here.

There was also a fruitful discussion that ARC hosted that brought together a bunch of folks all working on racial justice, which you can listen to as an audio file right here. It’s about an hour long and worth the taking the time to listen to.
