Isabel Wilkerson: The Caste System and How Business Can Disrupt It

On Tuesday, Sept. 20, join us for a discussion with Isabel Wilkerson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Caste. Wilkerson is renowned for her research and work focused on how history can help us understand the hierarchies that divide our country today.

By analyzing the the COVID-19 pandemic, the Jan. 6 insurrection, and the murders of George Floyd and Martin Luther King, Jr., Wilkerson will discuss the caste system in the United States and the repercussions it has on society. She will also address how business can work to deconstruct the caste system and heal divisions.
