Voices Book Discussion.“White Fragility” by Robin DiAngelo.

September 20th, 2 pm - 3 pm EST

Tickets: https://www.thecommunityco.org/event-tickets/voices-book-discussion

Coop is a part of establishing a conversation based on openness across experiences. We found that you see black people talking with black people and white people talking with white people, but rarely is there a conversation with white people and black people. We want to help open that discussion even further in a way that sheds light on ignorance, encourages truth, and recognizes the humanity of black people as well as all people of color.

The book discussion will be one hour with time for Q&A after.
