Wilkerson wrote <em>The New York Times<\/em> bestselling book, \u201c<strong>The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America\u2019s Great Migration<\/strong>,\u201d which was published in 2010. Her 2020 book, \u201c<strong>Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent<\/strong>,\u201d won the National Book Critics Circle Award for nonfiction. Both texts were the subject of her keynote speech.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilkerson opened her remarks by discussing recent extraordinary events, such as one county in <strong>Texas <\/strong>banning her book \u201cCaste,\u201d last year\u2019s overturning of <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, and the work of insurrectionists as they dared to break into the \u201ccitadel of democracy itself,\u201d the U.S. Capitol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilkerson said she often hears people say, \u201cThis is not my country,\u201d or \u201cThis is not what America stands for.\u201d However, she counters this notion, stating, \u201cIf we knew our country\u2019s true history, we would know that our country is like a patient with a preexisting condition. Like heart disease. And if a patient with heart disease had a heart attack, you might be alarmed\u2026 but you would not be surprised.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy mission,\u201d she said, \u201chas been to use the power of language and narrative to change the way we see ourselves and our country.\u201d She said she spent 15 years writing her book \u201cThe Warmth of Other Suns,\u201d documenting stories about the 20th-century migration of 6 million Black Americans away from the Jim Crow South.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMigration isn\u2019t about migration,\u201d <strong>Wilkerson <\/strong>explained. \u201cIt isn\u2019t even about geography. It is about freedom and how far people are willing to go to achieve it. The Great Migration was the only time in American history that American citizens had to flee the land of their birth just to be recognized as citizens of the country to which they had been born\u2026 The <strong>Great Migration<\/strong> was, in effect, a defection. They were defecting from a caste system.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n<section id=\"block-46759c887c518596cecd5c5a68aed79e\" class=\"cta-pullout-wrapper cta-pullout alignfull coe-block\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"cta-pullout-inner wow animate fade-in-stagger\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cta-text\">Explore the vibrant moments that captured the essence of this session at our annual conference.

The caste system in the <strong>Jim Crow South<\/strong> was so extreme, she stated, that there was a Black bible in each courtroom and an altogether separate White bible to swear to tell the truth in court. \u201cThat means that the very word of God was segregated in the Jim Crow South,\u201d <strong>Wilkerson <\/strong>said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our caste system was very similar to what happened in <strong>India <\/strong>to the Untouchables or Dalits, the lowest caste, <strong>Wilkerson <\/strong>said. In <strong>India<\/strong>, and <strong>America<\/strong>, there had to be a division of those at the top and those at the bottom to forbid interaction. This is the foundation of many of our country\u2019s challenges and divisions, she added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCaste is with us whether we recognize it or not; caste is working in our society whether we name it or not, so we might as well understand the infrastructure of what we have inherited as a people,\u201d <strong>Wilkerson <\/strong>said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you think of our country as an old house, whatever you are ignoring will never go away. Ignorance is no protection from the consequences of an action. It will be there waiting for you until you finally gather the courage to face it,\u201d she said to thunderous applause.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to those who say they had nothing to do with the enslavement of Africans or the genocide of Native Americans, <strong>Wilkerson <\/strong>reminded the audience that \u201cnot one of us was here when this house was built&#8230;. \u201cBut here we are, the owners of a property with stress cracks and bowed walls. We are the heirs to whatever is wrong. We did not install the frayed wiring and corroded pipes. They are ours to deal with now. But any further deterioration &#8211; any further deterioration &#8211; is on us,\u201d she emphasized.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wilkerson <\/strong>concluded by saying, \u201cThis is a very old house that we have inherited. It is not the responsibility of those who have been targeted by this caste system to solve it. We are in this old house together, and it is time we started to act like it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"COEAC2023: Unveiling the Hidden Caste System in America: Its Impact on TRIO Students and Staff\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fxNNM90eKBU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\t<section class=\"slider-articles alignfull coe-block\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"slider-articles__intro container\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"slider-articles__heading\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"slider-articles__title\">More News &#038; Impact<\/h2>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"slider-nav__arrows\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"slick-arrow prev\" aria-label=\"Previous article\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"18\" height=\"31\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 31\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  d=\"M0.787494 15.2904L15.6648 0.413086L17.7373 2.48555L4.89734 15.3255L17.7369 28.1651L15.6644 30.2375L0.787109 15.3602L0.822196 15.3251L0.787494 15.2904Z\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  fill=\"white\"\/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"slick-arrow next\" aria-label=\"Next article\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"18\" height=\"31\" viewBox=\"0 0 18 31\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  d=\"M17.2848 15.2904L2.40744 0.413086L0.33498 2.48555L13.1749 15.3255L0.335363 28.1651L2.40783 30.2376L17.2852 15.3602L17.2501 15.3251L17.2848 15.2904Z\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  fill=\"white\"\/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/svg>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t<ul class=\"slider-articles__slides list-unstyled init\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"post-card post-card--vertical with-image \">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__image\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"image to-square bg-img\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t style=\"background-image: url(' https:\/\/coenet.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/27Williams-04-vqgh-articleLarge-500x417.jpg ')\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/blog\/pat-williams-a-champion-who-gave-wings-to-trios-defiance\/\" class=\"link-reset link-overlay\" tabindex=\"-1\" data-tabindex=\"-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\r\n                                    <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Click to view the page: Pat Williams: A Champion Who Gave Wings to TRIO\u2019s Defiance\u00a0<\/span>\r\n                                <\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"post-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"kicker wow\">Blog<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"post-card__title h3-medium wow\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coenet.org\/news-impact\/blog\/pat-williams-a-champion-who-gave-wings-to-trios-defiance\/\" target=\"_self\">Pat Williams: A Champion Who Gave Wings to TRIO\u2019s Defiance\u00a0<\/a><\/h3>\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"post-card__meta wow\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tby <span class=\"author\">Arnold L.
