Powerful Conversations on Race
2025-01-19 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis)
Powerful Conversations on Race [PCR] is a monthly community dialogue series exploring topics around race and racism and the resulting impact.
Powerful Conversations on Race is a way for us to get comfortable talking about uncomfortable histories and is, therefore, rooted in historical documents and subject matter.
This IS NOT a lecture or book club, a space for community to come together and dive deeply into a variety of topics concerning race.
This month we will offer only one dialogue in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The January 2025 dialogue, Beyond the Dream, will explore the writings and speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. outside of the iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.
This is a VIRTUAL event that begins at 3PM EST. Admittance to the breakout room dialogues will not occur past 3:15PM EST. A quick camera check is required by all attendees.
