Hello ARC-C Community! You asked! We pondered! At our last meeting, one of our members raised some really great questions: How widely known is it that “Race” is a man-made concept? That it hasn’t always been in existence? I only learned of this in the last couple of years. And I have no idea where I fall in the spectrum of learning. How aware is our population of the pervasiveness of racism? That it’s baked into all strata of American life. That White Supremacy doesn’t only exist within the KKK, Proud Boys, other far-right extremists, etc., but is participated in by every white citizen. How do we educate/raise awareness of these fundamental issues? We're using these questions for our April meeting conversation! No pre-reading and, as always, everyone is welcome! ARC-C APRIL MEETING "HOW DO WE EDUCATE AND RAISE AWARENESS OF ANTI-RACISM? HOW CAN WE CREATE AWARENESS OF THE PERVASIVENESS OF RACISM?" Join us at this month's ARC-C meeting to explore some answers to these questions as we read and discuss, together, excerpts from American researcher and author Robert Sapolsky and from educator Jane Elliot's A Class Divided in order to gain some insight into these questions. Where does the root of prejudice live? How can we work to confront and challenge the prejudices of our community members, both young and old? No pre-reading is necessary for this meeting; instead, come prepared for some reading, viewing, and discussion during the meeting.
