Multiracial Awareness Discussion Group Meeting
History of Racism: Continuing Discussion
Friday, January 13, 2023
10 AM – Noon
Art Gallery in Charlestown Square
Why study racism? What was left out of what we learned in school? Why is it so important to learn this now?
Through video presentations and small group discussions we will continue to seek to address some of the many questions surrounding the importance of understanding the untold story of our country. This lays the groundwork for addressing the issues of equity and justice today.
The January program, a video lecture by Dr. Jacqueline Battalora, will focus on the life and laws of Colonial Maryland and Virginia and when the word “white” first appeared in legal documents. We will also continue our discussion of the “Doctrine of Discovery,” emancipation and western expansion as told by a Navajo, Mark Charles
