In July, I will be facilitating four 90-minute sessions called Vital Conversations about Racism: White people talking to white people. Beginning on Wednesday, July 13, and continuing weekly to August 3, we will meet weekly at the church from 6:30 – 8 p.m.
Why “white people talking to white people” about the evil of racism?
My intention is not to exclude anyone but rather to practice what a friend said to me years ago. “White folk need to do their own work and not rely on people like me from the Black community to do it for them.” He’s right. White folks have work to do. A lot of work. If you’re interested in attending, send me a message by clicking here.

Suggested Preparation (not required): If you’d like to do a little preparation, read Dr. Robin DiAngelo’s book, What Does it Mean to Be White: Developing White Racial Literacy. And if podcasts are your thing, you can prepare by listening to the Scene on Radio series, “Seeing White.” Here’s the link to information about the series.
