Exploring Race/Racism Past and Present: A Forum at Union Presbyterian Seminary

This article is based on the transcript of a forum on race and racism held April 6, 2016, at Union Presbyterian Seminary, in Richmond, Virginia. Participants Dr. Brian K. Blount, Dr. Katie G. Cannon, the Rev. Jamie Thompson, and Dr. Samuel L. Adams (moderator) discussed memories of growing up in a segregated America, the Civil Rights movement, and their observations of and experiences with racism today. Questions were generated by the panelists before the forum, and panelists had the opportunity to edit and add to their discussion points for publication.
