Come and learn a bit about the history of colorism within the Black community in the United States. Have you ever heard your peers say that lighter skin is prettier or better?

This class will inform you of how some of these ideas have come about. You'll get a chance to share your thoughts on how you think colorism has affected your life and what you think should be done about it!
