Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Group

December 14th, 10:00 am

We will continue our discussion of the book Waking Up White by Debby Irving at our meeting on Monday, December 14^th from 10:00 – 11:30. The BRC Board read this book for its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Workshop, which was held on November 6^th.

Waking Up White is the book Irving wishes someone had handed her decades ago. By sharing her sometimes cringe-worthy struggle to understand racism and racial tensions, she offers a fresh perspective on bias, stereotypes, manners, and tolerance. As Irving unpacks her own long-held beliefs about colorblindness, being a good person, and wanting to help people of color, she reveals how each of these well-intentioned mindsets actually perpetuated her ill-conceived ideas about race.
