Conversations between White people on race can be nearly as broken as conversations between Whites and Blacks. Many White Americans have trouble sustaining conversations on issues related to race and racism. Conversations flare up and shut down, relationships become strained or broken, and a national path forward on race becomes harder to envision. We need to change the culture of conversations about race, finding alternatives to the polarized and judgmental nature of these exchanges. This can lead to more productive conversations and joint action with people of all races. This free workshop is designed to help participants learn and practice skills for having more respectful and productive conversations about race with other White people.

The program will be facilitated by Carthage’s Cameron Swallow in partnership with the national Braver Angels organization.

This is a Red Bracelet Project event.
