Stand Up! The New Politics of Racial Uplift - A Public Philosophy Symposium
May 2, 2008 all day
Location: Temple University - Kiva Auditorium and Tuttleman Learning Center, Room 101
Description: Stand Up! The New Politics of Racial Uplift A Public Philosophy Symposium Temple University Friday, May 2nd, 2008 9am to 5pm Kiva Auditorium and Tuttleman Learning Center, Room 101 For information about participants, schedule, and work by participants and material relevant to symposium themes, go to our website: http://www.temple.edu/philosophy/standup/ Purpose of Symposium: The Millions More Movement, Cosby's 'call-outs,' and other recent trends renew an old approach to black political thought and practice.

Uplift ideology and practice have a long and storied past, but critics of the tradition worry over its limitations.

Others think it focuses too much on personal morality and cultural pathology and not enough on social justice and political economy. T
