Based on the myth of Geryon from Ann Carson’s Autobiography of Red: A Novel in Verse. I am kind of in love with this red paper and with Ann Carson.

Racism in Chicago: A discussion lead by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor (Northwestern)

Capitalism depends on racism both as a source of profit and as a means to divide and rule the 99%, who otherwise have everything in common and reason to organize and fight together in virtue of performing the labor that is the source of the 1%’s wealth. For this reason, anti-racists must take up a critique of capitalism and put forward a credible strategy for ending it– and in turn any credible strategy for the 99% must take up the anti-racist struggle, which US history has proven be a motor capable of driving forward the level of consciousness and struggle of the entire working class. Chicago has a long and storied history of anti-racism, but remains one of the most segregated cities in the US. Activist and journalist Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, frequent author on the subject of race and class and on the struggle for housing justice, will kick off a discussion of this history and the shape of racism and the fight against it in Chicago today.
