Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent*, written by Isabel Wilkerson, provides a useful way to understand the persistence of racism in the US. Wilkerson’s book shows us that anti-Black racism has created a container into which we are born regardless of our personal desires. This four-part discussion series will look at anti-Black racism in the US as a caste system and consider how we can act to ameliorate its harms and dismantle it.
Join us as we seek to
* Understand systemic anti-Black racism as a caste system
* Increase our ability to perceive and respond to systemic racism
* Develop proactive approaches to dismantling our racist caste system

Sponsored by the Racial Justice Task Force of First Unitarian Church.
The Sessions will be held on Sundays: January 19, February 2, February 16, and March 2 at 12 noon to 1:30 PM.
*While highly recommended, you do not need to have read Wilkerson’s book in advance

The first session is on Sunday, January 19, @ 12NOON in the Harper Room (lower level near the Undercroft Gallery). A light lunch will be provided.
