FALL 2024 STUDY GROUPS

Do you, or does someone you know, want to (re)acquaint yourself with the water we swim in–with the current always at our backs–as white people in this society? This fall we are offering free, virtual, facilitated study groups for white people about white advantage, white supremacy and the role white people can play in dismantling racism. One group will read, So You Want to Talk About Race, by Ijeoma Oluo, and the other two will read, Nice Racism – How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm, by Dr. Robin DiAngelo.  

So You Want To Talk About Race? by Ijeoma Oluo, is helpful for those wanting an introduction to thinking about issues like “What is cultural appropriation” and “Why do I  keep being told to check my privilege?” Facilitated by Paul Finley.

• Six Monday nights 7 – 8:30pm, every other week, starting September 23rd (9/23, 10/7, 10/21, 11/4, 11/18, 12/2). 
• Free, over Zoom, with size limited to 8
• Registration required! Email info@breakingwhitesilencenw.org

Nice Racism – How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm, by Dr. Robin DiAngelo in Fall, 2023 is helpful for white people who want to better align their anti-racist actions with their values and who want a brave, supportive space in which to examine their behavior patterns as white progressives who might inadvertently perpetuate racial harm.
