CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHT

Isabel Wilkerson

Julius C. Jefferson Jr.’s President’s Program featured speaker Isabel Wilkerson. Jefferson spoke of the “twin pandemics” that have marked his tenure as president—COVID-19 and systemic racism—and pointed out that only the virus seems to be reaching resolution. “Isabel Wilkerson and her book Caste help explain why,” he said. Wilkerson’s latest book explores the structure of an unspoken system of human ranking and reveals how our lives are still restricted by what divided us centuries ago.
