The Hate You See

Dear Campus Community,

This October, we witnessed what some have called “72 Hours of Hate” – a fatal shooting of two African-American shoppers at a grocery store, mail bombs sent to media outlets and Democratic leaders and activists, and the murders of 11 people by a shooter at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. 

In light of these incidents and others, this Friday the CEC Education and Dialogue Working Group will lead a discussion of hate, and the role social media plays in encouraging perceptions that lead to hate crimes and hate speech. Join the conversation, The Hate You See, from noon to 1 p.m. in Linderman Library, Bayer Galleria, Room 342.

Lunch is provided.

This event is part of a year of programming examining how preconceived ideas impact our beliefs and actions. All are welcome. 

If you are an individual with a disability and need accommodations in order to participate in this event, please contact Maria Zullo at maz317@lehigh.edu or 758-4152.

We look forward to seeing you! 

 

Brought to you by Lehigh’s Council for Equity and Community (CEC) Education and Dialogue Working Group.
