Join us for an open conversation about what it means to be anti-racist, including understanding racism, individual actions to be an antiracist and thoughts for systemic changes. Our conversation will be guided by topics found in How to be Antiracist by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi.
How To Be An Antiracist asks us to think about what an anti-racist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it. It has been described as an essential book for anyone interested in moving beyond an awareness of racism to the next step of contributing to the formation of a just and equitable society. The New York Times calls How To Be An Antiracist “the most courageous book to date on the problem of race in the Western mind.”
