REGISTRATION 

For a time it was fashionable to describe racism as a thing of the past. Racism was a relic, a specter, a mystic chord of memory. Racism was bad form, anachronistic, irrelevant. Once upon a time racism existed, but the election of Barack Obama as the 44th president of the United States was “goodbye to all that.” “We’re all post-racial now.” But we have never been post-racial.

With the election of Donald Trump racism is again ascendant.

What is to be done?

We hope to address the present crisis at the NEPOC/CAPALF conference in Albany, New York. Speakers will address the following themes:

  • Race Hate 2018
  • Speech in a Post-Truth Era
  • Women & Legal Activism: Feminism, Social Movements & Resistance
  • Colonialism as Catastrophe: Disaster Relief in Puerto Rico
  • Challenges Facing Administrators of Color: Diversity & Inclusion In Higher Education & Legal Education
  • National Security Policy: Extreme Vetting and the Muslim Ban
  • Immigration, Federalism, Sanctuary Cities/States


KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Barbara Smith
"Black Feminism, Coalition Building and the Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival"

Founder of Kitchen Table: Woman of Color Press (the first U.S. publisher for literature by women of color) and the Combahee River Collective, and an author, activist, community organizer, and independent scholar whose groundbreaking work helped open up a cultural and political dialogue about the intersections of race, class, sexuality, and gender. Smith was among the first to define an African American women's literary tradition and to build Black women's studies and Black feminism in the United States.
