About this event
Confederacy Series #1 - The History of "White" - Livestream
Sunday, August 7 - 5:00 pm est
The first time the word 'white' was used as a descriptor of a person was, likely 1613. This program sorts out the prehistory of "race" as it developed through European religious institutions, colonial practices and commercial exploitation. "White" is first found in Virginia law in the 1690s. And, why, e.g. Western global aesthetics still privilege a politics of colorism. It wasn't until 1940 that the rules were changed to allow women of color to enter the Miss America pageant. Before that, the official rules stated that contestants had to be "of good health and of the white race."
