RACIAL EQUITY WORKSHOP WHEN: March 26-27, 2015 (Thurs-Fri) 8:30-5:15 both days WHERE: United Church of Chapel Hill 1321 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. Chapel Hill, NC 27514 WHO: Those who want to understand how and why racial inequities continue to plague our institutions and limit the potential of our communities and nation. ! Phase I -- Foundational Training in Historical and Institutional Racism In our contemporary society, racism shapes the outcomes of all institutions. It pits entrenched patterns of power against what are often faint images of equity. Yet even those who are concerned about growing achievement gaps, disparities in health and wealth, and the mass incarceration of black and brown people are challenged in their understanding of how racism remains alive and well in all our institutions, advantaging some while harming others. This workshop helps participants become clear on how race and racism have been constructed in the US and how ideas about racism live in our unconscious minds and social structures even 50 years after the successes of the Civil Rights movement. “An organized lie is more powerful than a disorganized truth.” This workshop is important for people of color and white people who are committed to eliminating racism. It provides an analysis that helps participants gain clarity about how racism is organized and how to work to disrupt its powerful influence. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: The Coordinating Committee for Organizing Against Racism www.OARNC.org RACIAL EQUITY WORKSHOP details When: March 26-27, 2015 (Thursday and Friday) Time: 8:30-5:15 each day New participants are asked to attend the entire workshop, both days.
