Race and Resistance

Race and resistance refer to how people’s identities based on race influence their experiences and how they challenge injustices. Race is a social construct that categorizes people typically by physical features, impacting opportunities and treatment. Resistance involves actions taken by marginalized groups to oppose discrimination, inequality, and systemic oppression related to race. It can include protests, activism, or everyday acts of defiance aiming for social change and racial justice. Together, these concepts highlight the ongoing struggle for equality and recognition within diverse societies.
