On Monday, November 2nd, we will discuss whether discussing racism, institutional racism and systemic racism is a political discussion or a discussion of human rights. You are invited to join us from 10:00 to 11:30.
We continue our discussion of the book Waking Up White by Debby Irving. The BRC Board is reading this book prior to its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Workshop on November 6th. We will continue with chapters 17-28.
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
