Part of the "At My Neighbor's Table" interfaith potluck conversation series in Needham
The eyes of our nation witnessed the killing of another Black man in police custody on May 25, 2020. COVID-19 has disproportionately claimed the lives of black and brown persons. Our country is on a precipice and we are collectively calling for action. Together we will take a closer look at structural racism and how to recognize it and when to speak out against it.
