Antiracism as Daily Practice: Refusing Shame, Changing White Communities

Date & Time: Sunday, April 19th, 9AM

Location: Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church, 511 Groveland Ave, Minneapolis, Art Gallery

We’ll discuss why white people struggle with the “what to do?” about racism and explore the significance of grief and anger—as well as the harmful role of shame.

We’ll reckon with the needed transformation to become the partners in justice Black communities and other communities of color need and deserve. Such transformation isn’t only vital to the well-being of U.S. democracy, it’s vital to the freedom and wholeness of white people too.
