Manchester – Conversation about Race (CANCELED)
March 28, 2020 @ 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
FreeJoin Granite State Organizing Project (GSOP) for a structured conversation about racial identities and how they shape our lives and relationships.
We live in a moment of keen awareness of the power of racial identity, but don’t often get to talk about it in a way that brings more light than heat. And many of us have questions we don’t even know how to ask. In this two-hour structured conversation, GSOP’s multi-racial team shares basic concepts about racism and leads groups through discussions based on where people in the room are starting.
Our assumption is that racism cannot be erased until we look directly at the existence and impact of “whiteness”. We recognize that this can bring up discomfort for some, and we welcome everyone who wants to be part of this conversation.
GSOP is the largest grassroots community organization in New Hampshire. We are comprised of religious congregations, community groups, labor organizations and individuals in New Hampshire united in our concern for economic and social justice.
