Robert Bushey & Shannon Swilley

Whenever we talk about racial identity,  Whiteness or even Blackness, we believe the conversation must be rooted in history. 

In this conversation we will discover that racial identities were created to provide freedom to dehumanize those who did not look like Anglo Europeans.

Our story is not a singular story of oppression, meaning it didn’t start with oppression.  Who were we before the Transatlantic slave trade created African-Americans or Black people?
