Adult Study Group has begun a study on the book Waking Up White by Debby Irving. Along with viewing the three-part documentary “RACE-The Power of An Illusion.” You will need to purchase the book on your own. (Amazon has it in new paperback, used paperback, Kindle, and Audible.)
This study is an invitation for all of us to learn more about our own experience of race, along with the stories of people of color in American history and our world today. I do hope you will join us. EVERYONE is invited to join the study—just let me know you are interested, and the Zoom info will be sent directly to you.
On July 5th, we will be viewing Episode I—The Difference Between Us of RACE – the Power of an Illusion. There are no readings for this week, but please reflect on these discussion starters:
• How would you define race? What does it mean to you?
• How may races to you think there are? What are they? How do you decide which race someone belongs to?
• Look around your community. Who do you think is likely to be most similar to you, biologically or genetically? Why?
• Where do your ideas about race come from? What are the sources of your information?
Our next Book Club meeting will be on Wednesday, July 22 at 7:00 pm.
We will be discussing "The Gown" by Jennifer Robson. If you want to be included, please email Judie at judietrue@gmail.com and she will send you a Zoom invitation.
