Anti-Black racism is prejudice, attitudes, beliefs, stereotyping and/ or discrimination that is directed at people of African descent and is rooted in their unique history and experience of enslavement and colonization (Confronting Anti-Black Racism Unity, City of Toronto). Anti-Black racism is not new; it has persisted for hundreds of years. However, recent media coverage of the impacts of anti-Black racism has brought greater awareness to the issue.

This two (2) hour workshop will explore the roots of anti-Black racism in colonialism, and will begin exploring how anti-Black racism manifests through online racial microaggressions. Participants will also explore case studies and explore key theories on anti-Black Racism.
