RACE TOGETHER (Sept 10 - Oct 15, 2017)

Race Together is made up of a dynamic team of presenters who are passionate about creating better racial understanding among all members in our communities. We are committed to bringing a professional and impactul program.  Our personal experiences, education, challenges and connections have prepared us to bring these important discussions to our community. Our desire is to leave everyone we encounter with a deeper understanding of and more thoughtful connection to the concepts of race and racism in the United States which will  inspire engagement in a collective dismantling of systemic racism.OUR TEAMWendy McConnellKiala FelderChuck CollierAshley BeattySheila BrockRev. Milferd Brock

Discussing Race/Racism can be intense, but it’s an issue most of us would like to understand better. Race Together is an engaging and informative series for those that would like to learn more on the topic of race in the U.S. This 6-week series will shed light on historical and social context leading to our current racial situation. We will look at how we got here; why we remain disconnected; and most importantly, how we can be part of the solution? Meetings will include media screenings, guided discussions, moments of reflection, impactful activities and resources all in a community safe space. Each weekly session varies in content and progressively builds on information as we go. This is a free community event that is open to all whom have a geniune interest in seeing racial division and disparity gaps closed. 
The room environment will be one of learning, discovery, and sharing. Each session will open with Agreed Upon Ground Rules that will make discussions a safe place for all as we examine these sometimes difficult topics.
