The enduring impact of racism in Milwaukee and across the nation is the topic of a virtual panel discussion among UWM students, second in a series of events called UWM’s Campus Dialogue on Racial Justice.
It will be held Friday, June 26, beginning at 10 a.m., via Microsoft Teams. To join the dialogue or simply watch, click here.

At each event, campus community members are invited to join in with questions or comments.
