04-03-2022
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
On April 3 please join the Literature, Film, Drama & Music Contingent of the Social Justice Council (the LFDMC) to discuss “This Is The Fire, What I Say to My Friends About Racism”, by CNN Tonight News Anchor Don Lemon! Liz Der will facilitate the discussion. We will meet on Zoom, beginning at 1 P.M., see link above.
From the book: (p. 195)
We are capable of releasing the burden of racism. We are capable of dialogue that fosters intersectional alliances. We are capable of educating future generations with self-honesty and shared humanity. We are capable of intelligent, organized activism that pushes toward a common goal. We can be simultaneously fearless about our future and truthful about our past. We can be equally conscious of our country’s failings and proud of our country’s progress. The very essence of progress is to build a bridge that takes us from here to there, but what good is progress without healing?
Even if you don’t have time to read the entire book, please come to listen to the powerful and moving discussion.
Join the Zoom meeting at 1:00 p.m. using the link above.
