On-Demand Webinars and Workshops
Talking About Race Series: Talking about race, racism, and racial justice in this country can be difficult and uncomfortable, yet these conversations are more important than ever. To enact real change, we must be willing and able to discuss and address the issues of racism and social injustice that exist in the very communities where we live and learn. The workshops and webinars listed below will help to facilitate necessary dialogues by identifying barriers to meaningful communications about race and racial injustice, identifying our own biases, and developing awareness of how our actions (or lack of) play a role in systemic racism.

Floodlines
https://www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/floodlines/
Some call it Hurricane Katrina. Some call it the Federal Flood. Others call it the day the levees broke. On August 29, 2005, the city of New Orleans was submerged. That story of hubris, incompetence, and nature’s wrath is now etched into the national consciousness. But the people who lived through the flood and its aftermath have a different story to tell. A story of rumors, betrayal, and one of the most misunderstood events in American history. Hosted by Vann R. Newkirk II.
