Colorism: How skintone shades are viewed and taught
Angela Crawford will host an intergenerational round table discussion on the origins and complexities of "colorism." Where did the idea of bleaching skin or thinking lighter is better come from among the women of the African diaspora? Who or what sets the value system? How can it be overcome? How does it affect the self esteem of young girls?
