Conversations on Race Library Series


  • Pinckney Community Library 125 Putnam St. Pinckney, MI 48169 (map)

Join us for a 4-week series of guided conversations to build awareness and skills in talking about race. Through shared videos, small and large group dialogue and actionable steps, we will have difficult conversations and build capacity for advocacy.

Session 1 (Oct 25): Why has the myth of race as biology persisted and what effect does this have on our own ideas?

Session 2 (Nov 1): How has the idea that race is biology resulted in inequalities in policy and practices throughout US history?

Session 3 (Nov 8): What is structural racism and how have ideas of race shifted to support political and social inequities?

Session 4 (Nov 15): How can Asset Mapping connect our deepest longings, beliefs, talents, contacts and community institutions to build equity and justice for all?

Session content builds each week, therefore it is ideal for participants to attend all sessions if possible.

Free to attend, registration required: www.tln.org/ConR
