PART 4: Lunch & Learn with Dr. J. Cody Nielsen on the History of Racism through the Lens of American Religion

Posted by Asif Masum for Walker Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnic Relations

White Christian Nationalism, Supremacy, and the battle for an anti-racist future

The current U.S. political and cultural climate demonstrates that white Christian supremacy and nationalism is now one of the greatest threats we have ever faced. While this has always been just below the surface, the political opening which is currently occurring has led us to recognize its threat to race relations in the United States.

This final session considers what we must do to battle against this both inside and outside of Christian communities and the impact it may have toward race.
