My Evolution of Thinking About Race – A Personal Journey
February 18, 2018 @ 8:30 am - 10:30 am
You don’t know what you don’t know, which is a significant factor when discussing any topic, particularly race and race relations. After being inspired by Solomon Gibson’s presentation to EHST about starting a conversation on race, EHST member (and current President) Dorothy Dale wanted to offer her own perspective on how her thinking regarding race has evolved over the years. She also will talk about what remains personally perplexing to her about race in America.
Book Group… Following this meeting will be our book discussion group at the Chapel Hill Public Library. We are discussing the book “Fantasyland: How America Went Haywire: A 500-Year History” by Kurt Anderson. The discussion will run from 3:30-5:00 pm in meeting room “D.” Visitors are welcome to join us!
Black History Month… Our recognition of Black History Month continues with the story of Robert Smalls. Born a slave in South Carolina, he made his way to freedom, and later served in the South Carolina State Assembly and Senate until Reconstruction ended, which brought back white rule. PBS has a great writeup about him. Please take a few minutes to pay honor to him.
