The purpose of these reading and discussion groups are to strive to understand the history of pervasive structural and systemic racism in America, and how this impacts the present, the future, and ourselves. We intend to create safe, brave spaces to facilitate discussions as we co-investigate anti-racist texts and their role in our individual and collective contexts. You can participate with the groups even if you donβt want to collaborate and co-investigate. Weβd like to leave the door open for those that just need the extra push to read these books and question themselves.
Ian, I am left wondering if the work that I need to do is in my own backyard, being an advocate for Australia’s indigenous people.
Hey Aaron! Absolutely. That’s one of the things I’ve been learning lately. The need to think local…and understand local before we move to the global.
