The aim of this event is to bring together students and staff at the University of Pittsburgh in a panel style discussion about the varies parallels between racism and the civil rights movement in America and Apartheid in South Africa. We want students and faculty to be able to recognize patterns in history in an effort to stop it from repeating itself and be able to see their part in any change that may come in the future regarding racial and social relations in America and worldwide. During the event, we will show a short documentary and short video clips that represent the topic and we will have professors who are experience in each subsequent field talk about parallels while taking input from the audience and answering any questions.
