More Effective Conversations About Racism, Part II

Presented by Bill Cozzo

Thursday, October 20, 2022

7 – 9 PM

Gallery in Charlestown Square

We have studied the history of our country as it relates to racism today to facilitate moving toward a more just and equitable society.  Now we continue the study we started last Spring with Bill Cozzo of the difficult task of talking with family and friends about racism and how it affects all of us.
This is a four session program:

*Oct 20, Dec 8, Feb 9, Apr 13, Gallery in CTS, 7-9 pm.
*Attendance at all sessions recommended but not required.
*Offers a way to have more productive conversations about racial justice topics, empowers white allies to “call people in” to the work of advancing anti-racism and provides class time to practice the method.
*Teaches the R.A.C.E. Method of conversation ( Dr. David Campt) which has been used successfully by individuals and groups to establish a relationship which facilitates open dialog.
*Presented by Bill Cozzo, a community organizer, volunteer leader with the Baltimore chapter of “Showing Up for Racial Justice”(SURJ) and a student of Dr. Campt.

Everyone who is concerned about racial justice and equity is invited to attend.  For more information or to be added to our email list contact Lois Schmidt or Joan Green. Contact information can be found in the Resident Directory, available on MyErickson.
