Undermining Marriage: White Supremacy and the Black Family 

Black History Month Lecture with Seymour Institute for Black Church and Policy Studies Executive Director Jacqueline C. Rivers
As part of 2021 Black History Month programming at Mizzou, the Kinder Institute, in partnership with the Truman School of Public Affairs, will bring Seymour Institute for Black Church and Policy Studies Executive Director and Senior Fellow Jacqueline C. Rivers to campus (via Zoom) for a talk on the structural disadvantages and cultural patterns that have led to fewer black people participating in marriage; the generational consequences of this trend; and the social policy levers and church-based action that might help us begin the long, difficult process of reversing it.
