Why do some people have more opportunities than others? How do race and money shape our world? This course is your guide to understanding the hidden systems that control who gets what in society.
We'll dive deep into the concept of racial capitalism – exploring how racism and economic systems work together to create inequality. Using Seattle as our living laboratory, we'll investigate how different groups have been treated throughout the city's history.

This isn't a boring lecture class. We'll visit museums, explore neighborhoods, and have real conversations about power, race, and economic opportunity. You'll learn to see the world differently, uncovering the invisible forces that shape our communities.
By the end of the course, you'll be able to explain complex ideas about race and capitalism, and create a video essay that breaks down these concepts in your own unique way. Get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about how society works.
