Event Description
The explosive population growth of people of color in America over the past 50 years has created a new American majority consisting of progressive people of color and progressive whites. In his new book, Phillips takes an unvarnished look at the history of whites and people of color in America and reveals how the past has created current conditions that have revolutionary implications for U.S. politics in 2016 and beyond.
