The goal of this group is to create a safe space to reflect and discuss how media, movies, books, magazines, shows, and policies may skew our perceptions and beliefs toward people of color. This group will include discussion questions lifted from Ibram X. Kendi’s Be Antiracist journal, and the Racial Healing Handbook by Anneliese Singh. Reference Librarian Janina Majeran will host the group and lead the discussions over Zoom. We may read a book or two and listen to a couple podcasts as well!  You do not have to join every meeting, but rather join us when you can. 

The time for the Racial Healing Group will be 7 pm, and the dates will be:  

Wednesday, January 13th

Wednesday, January 27th

We will continue our conversation on colorblindness with a video on how to respond to people who make colorblind comments. 

We will also discuss why it is so hard for us to talk about racism. 

When: Jan 13, 2021 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
