Powerful Conversations on Race - Exterminate All the Brutes, Pt. 4
2023-05-21 11:00 - 13:30 (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on Race is a way for us to get comfortable talking about uncomfortable histories and is, therefore, rooted in historical documents and subject matter.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, but a space for community to come together and dive deeply into a variety of topics concerning race. This is an immersive experience. As such, we’ll spend a considerable amount of time in small groups to dialogue with each other about these topics.
For the May 2023 dialogue, we will wrap up our dialogue sessions focused on the documentary “Exterminate All the Brutes,” which dives into the historical context of white supremacy and whiteness. The documentary is approximately 1 hour long and will be followed by 1+ hour of dialogue. THIS GATHERING IS VIRTUAL ONLY.
All dialogues are virtual and occur on Eastern Standard Time / Eastern Daylight Time.
Registration ends at 12noon on the day of the event. A Zoom link will be sent prior to the event date.
