 Expanded Version - Full Weekend - This is a powerful workshop for white people who are upset by the racism around them -- and in their own heads and hearts -- and who are searching for a way to begin their work for racial justice. It's also for people who already do anti-racism work but who want to enhance their skills and deepen their commitment. And it's for anybody who wants a better understanding of how racism operates in society and in us. |
