The death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the protests that followed across the country have reignited the never-ending debate on systemic racism of black Americans.
For this new episode of La Bande FM, Thursday June 4 at 12:30 pm ET (9:30 am PT), we will give you the floor as usual and will chat with our 3 guests:
– Claude Grunitzky, founder of the media group Trace, born in Togo and raised in part in France. He has lived in the United States for 22 years.
– Célia Faussart, singer, co-founder of the duo Les Nubians, first French group nominated for the Grammy Awards. She lived 15 in the United States until last October.
– Pascal Archimède, author, columnist for Nofi.media. He has lived in Miami for two years and published “History of Black America, from plantations to rap culture”.
With them and with you, we will talk about racism in the United States, the experience of black immigrants compared to that of African-Americans born in the United States. To testify, send us an email ([email protected]) or connect directly to Zoom. Registration here.
