Conversations on Race

In October we will hear from members of Delaware’s Coalition to Dismantle the New Jim Crow, a grass-roots organization committed to social justice for all. Join us on Tuesday, Oct 25 at 7 pm at Kennett Friends Meeting.

Conversations on Race are just that — an opportunity to listen, share, and learn about what “racism” is an looks like in our society these days. Each meeting begins with a short presentation, followed by discussions in small groups, which give us the chance to listen and know each other better. Talks usually begin at 7 pm, and are hosted in location near town, such as Kennett Meeting House, La Comunidad Hispana, and Church of the Open Door.
