DiAngelo will speak at Stephens Auditorium, which holds up to 2,700. After her lecture, attendees will be encouraged to break into small discussion groups. DiAngelo coined the phrase "white fragility" to describe the concept of white Americans being overly defensive in situations involving race.

“The next kind of emails I get come from white supremacist groups,” he said. “That’s the one thing that worries me anytime I see any kind of resistance. I don’t know if that’s what they intend or not.”
