Priscilla Kron and Millie Davis invite you to join us in reading to learn more about #BlackLivesMatter, institutionalized racism, and how we can work as antiracists to be better supporters of our black and brown neighbors and live up to the UUA’s revolutionary report, Widening the Circle of Concern, and our own UUCUC’s Statement on Black Lives Matter.
Our discussions will be guided by a Covenant and we’ll be reading Ijeoma Oluo’s So You Want to Talk about Race (2019, 272 pages) and discuss it on the first Monday evenings of February (1st), March (1st), April (5th), and May (3rd), from 6:30-8pm on Zoom.
Discussions will be held on Mondays from 6:30-8p.m. on Zoom
February 1: Introduction–Chapter 3
March 1: Chapters 4–7
April 5: Chapters 8-12
May 3: Chapters 13-17
Antiracism Reading Group Covenant
We agree to create and maintain a safe discussion space by:
● Honoring confidentiality of personal information brought into the discussion
● Listening carefully with an open, non-judgmental mind to the words and ideas of others
● Centering responses on personal experience without judgment of others and their experiences
● Engaging in the reading in advance to focus the discussion on common ideas and language
The Religious Education office will order a couple of copies for the UUCUC library in case anyone wishes to borrow a copy.
This is suitable for high school — adults.
