Discussion: The Impact of Culture, Behavior, and Policy as they Relate to Anti-racism

The Peace Circle invites you to participate in a discussion based on the concepts described in the writings of Ibram X Kendi. Our challenge is to create a safe place for people to open up and talk about race. This is not a debate.

Given the current emotional environment of anger, hurt, fear, and prejudice, Kendi’s definitions of anti-racism are presented with quotes and questions. Participants are then broken into small Zoom groups to give each person a chance to talk. Participants are them brought back to the whole group to share and discuss.

The hope is to allow individuals to develop an understanding of the difference between covert racism and anti-racism and how current policies promote specific behaviors.
