"Talking About Race: Staying Curious, Moving Forward, and Being Part of the Solution"
This workshop is designed to encourage an open and thoughtful conversation on race, emphasizing how we can learn to appreciate and understand experiences and perspectives different from our own.
At the center of the conversation, which will be facilitated by Allen Davis, an educator and racial justice activist, will be the experiences of four local African Americans, Grace Aldrich, Claire Holston, Jim Guy, and Luis Rosa. They have generously offered to share what it means to be Black in the U.S. and the Monadnock region.
