Breaking The Silence

 

Breaking the Silence - Another series of conversations beginning July 17th; what book do you recommend we read and study together?

For the new zoom link to discussions call Sue at 708-612-4493.

 

To those who have participated in Breaking the Silence: Embracing Cross Racial Dialogue and Action and to those who are new to this conversation on racism, join us. We will meet every other Saturday, beginning July 31st, with a new link for each month, the first of which is attached, along with the calendar of gatherings for the next few months. 

 

The aim of these conversations is to increase confidence within communities, build alliances across racial lines, interrupt the interconnected nature of racial barriers and strive to impact a change of heart and mind to dismantle racism.
