Please join us for the third of six weekly community conversations on racial justice on TUESDAY, Julu 7th, 2020 at 6:30pm.
In this 90-minute zoom community dialogue, facilitators Dr. Dave and Jude McNeil will first discuss the current climate surrounding the views of White privilege. What is White privilege? Why is it important to understand? How can privilege be transformed? How should one talk with family members, neighbors, and co-workers about it?
This conversation will be followed by a 60-minute community dialogue, open to all participants, where we can talk with each other about these topics. Everyone is welcome!

MORE ABOUT VIRTUAL COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS
Virtual Community Conversations are not lectures, panels, town halls, or presentations - these are actual conversations which require active participation from everyone on the call. You don't need any expertise to participate!
You should attend as an individual rather than expecting to represent an organization or speak on behalf of a group of people. This is a space to make mistakes, to listen more than you speak, and to learn that understanding our differences is the most productive way to move forward.
We do not record the calls or share any names or personal details from the call afterward - this is to honor the privacy and confidentiality of participants, as well as encourage both a safe and brave space for people to share and learn.
MORE ABOUT ZOOM
These conversations will be held online over a Zoom call, which will require a computer or phone with a microphone and camera. We request that all participants, if possible, utilize their video option for the duration of the conversation so we can connect face-to-face, as well as commit to attend for the entirety of the call. The link to the Zoom call will be emailed the day of the conversation to all those who signed up with the link above, along with instructions and tips for using Zoom. Subtitles can be available on the call if requested at least two days before each conversation.
Access to statewide virtual and in-person events are also available on
Our #VirtualCampfire social media series provides daily posts with inspiration, conversation starters, ideas for doing the #HumanitiesAtHome, and more. Join Us!
P.S.
We will be connecting with you via email each week
during this unique time.
