Elizabeth Pryor's "The N-Word: History, Race and the College Classroom" Speaker Event

The n-word, a word prevalent in both racist and anti-racist documents, art, literature and politics, is wreaking havoc across U.S. classrooms. With personal, pedagogical and historical perspective - framed in part by her experience as a biracial woman who is also the daughter of iconic comedian Richard Pryor - Dr. Pryor reflects on why the n-word is hard to talk about.
