Join a facilitated conversation to discuss these questions: How can we who are white show up as more effective and less damaging participants in struggles to interrupt racism in our community? How can white people engage in efforts to dismantle racism in ways that do not reproduce or place unfair burdens upon people of color to be our teachers? This conversation is for white people to reflect together on what it means to “do our work” as white people, which includes taking responsibility for one another, educating ourselves, and coming to view other white people as our partners—not competition—in developing antiracist identity. 

Seating is free on a first-come, first-seated basis.

This event is part of the Oregon Humanities Conversation Project which offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful and challenging conversations.
