All are welcome to join us as we continue our book club series alternating between nonfiction and fiction titles. Our upcoming community read and virtual discussion will discuss How to Be An Anti-racist. Author Ibram X. Kendi takes readers through his own journey to become an antiracist—a person who believes that all racial groups are equal and supports policies that reduce inequity. Part “how-to” and part memoir, Kendi’s book is accessible and enlightening. Please join us. Registration is required to ensure adequate moderators for breakout rooms.

This workshop focuses on building a framework for thinking about race as more than just skin color and the stories we see on the news.

When examined as an expression of culture, the construct of race provides opportunities for us to engage in dialogue across identities through shared experiences. This workshop is designed to bring awareness to our collective liberation and build strategies to identify and see ourselves in the story of race through critical thought and bold curiosity. Beginners welcome!

This event will be held outdoors, weather permitting. Please bring a mask and water. If the weather does not permit us to be outdoors, please stay tuned for a rain date.
