More than 50 years after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., racial justice continues to be something we experience only in a dream. How do we disrupt the racism that is so embedded in US society?
What can WILPF US do to advance racial justice?
Be part of the answer! Join the monthly WILPF US Racial Justice Group conference calls. Share your feelings and ideas about books, actions, and WILPF initiatives to nourish racial justice in the US and within WILPF.
On March 28 we will continue discussion of the 2016 book, White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide, by Carol Anderson. Chapter One of the book has lesser-known and crucial information about the Civil War and Reconstruction periods that you will want to read. The March 28 discussion may include a short review of that first chapter but the group will focus on Chapter Two: Derailing the Great Migration (the post-WWI migration of African Americans from the southern to the northern states).
The group meets by phone and optional website connection on the fourth Thursday of each month, starting at 5 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST) / 8 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST).
Sign up for the March 28 call—pre-registration is required for the system we use. Use this link to reach the registration page.
