Racism at Smith

<p>“Class is becoming the really interesting conversation on campus, especially because people feel more free to talk about class issues than race issues. My friend was actually in a really great campus dialog group this semester about class issues and some of the members of her dialog ended up making a documentary about class on Smith campus that was really good.”</p>

<p>My close friend and colleague Felice Yeskel at Class Action <a href=“classism.org”>classism.org; (which is based in Northampton/Hadley) helped set up that dialogue group. Her work is heavily focused on the intersection of race and class.</p>

<p>"Bill Fletcher, president of TransAfrica and former union leader, writes, “Class is the faultline of US society, and race is the trip wire.”</p>
