Waking Up White with author Debby Irving

April 24, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Are you aware of how deeply white privilege harms our culture? Understanding the effects of white privilege and racism on the way we view the world, including its impact within the school community, is one of the most important issues in our country today. Debby Irving, the author of “Waking Up White” will help us explore the roots of our varied perspectives and to dismantle old myths regarding race, identity and culture. Only then can we truly begin the path towards racial healing and compassion. Reviewers have described Debby’s book “Waking up White” as a “brutally honest and unflinching exploration of race and personal identity” and “a must read for anyone exploring issues of racism, power, privilege, and leadership.” Learn how we can collectively wake up and take effective action.

Pre-registration is encouraged. At the time of registration, you may also order Debby’s book, “Waking Up White,” for the highly discounted price of only $10! Debby will be available to sign copies of the book at the program. All book orders must be received by April 3rd.
