Belfer Policy Chat: Transnational Solidarity for Racial and Caste Justice

In honor of Black History Month, Reverend Frank Chikane, (HKS MPA-MC ’95) Emeritus Pastor of the Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa and apartheid activist, Dr. Suraj Yengde, Senior Fellow at the Shorenstein Center and Dalit rights activist, will discuss transnational movements for racial justice and the international implications of the Black Lives Matters protests in a conversation moderated by Augusta Dell’Omo, Ernest May Fellow in History & Policy at the Belfer Center’s International Security Program. Given the interrelation between South Africa’s apartheid struggle and India’s liberation movement of the last century, how has activism crossed national borders and how has solidarity shaped foreign policy outcomes? What lessons can we learn from the past to apply to our current global reckoning around race?
