Witnessing Whiteness Workshop

Description

Join us for a 10-week workshop based around the Book Witnessing Whiteness: The Need to Talk About Race and How to Do It by Shelly Tochluk facilitated by Gera Raymond and Ruth Meyer.� This series is designed for white people to forward anti-racism work.� We will connect the book with dialog and experiential activities by exploring the white experience.�� Goals of the series are to build a community with a shared understanding of privilege whiteness and racism;�increase your ability to begin support and progress racial justice work; and develop leadership capacity around issues of diversity inclusion and race. To really understand and ultimately address how whiteness affects racism a strong commitment to attendance is required. Sessions 1 and 10 are mandatory. We ask that any absences are pre-planned; maximum number of absences is 2. At Session 1 we will ask you to let us know the dates you plan to miss if any. � The series is limited to 25 participants. Please call Sequoya Library (608-266-6385) or register online at madisonpubliclibrary.org/events. If you need accommoadtions to attend this program please call 266-6385 or TDD# 266-6314 two weeks in advance. A limited number of books will be available at Sequoya Library.
