Program Description

Event Details

Do you want to be a part of the fight for equity, but don't know where to start? Join us for a monthly moderated discussion group focused on anti-racist literature and other media.

This month, we will be reading and discussing So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo. As a group, we will be using Oluo's advice to discuss racial issues in America and connecting past content to deepen our understanding of contemporary racism in today's society. When you register, tell us if you need a *free copy* of So You Want to Talk About Race and at which branch you would like pick it up.

In addition to this discussion, FVRL will be hosting an online event with Ijeoma Oluo on September 29th at 7:00 pm, streaming on our YouTube channel.

To join this online program, you will need a computer, tablet or phone with a camera and microphone. The link to join the event will be emailed to registrants one hour before the program begins. A phone number will be included to allow you to use a phone as speaker and microphone, if necessary.
