Course Details

Come join us in this two-day safe, interactive space where everyone’s voices and visions can be shared and heard. In this time of social divisions and tensions, CB199 takes participants on a journey of discovery and connection. This highly engaging and interactive series of conversations builds upon and adds to participants’ personal / family journeys as well as their collective insights about the role of racial, ethnic, and other differences in US history and society. The session allows participants to explore diversity within a social, political, economic and historic lens.

We ask and explore questions like: what are the root concepts or beliefs that give birth to privilege, unequal power and prejudice? What role did Story, Land, Labor, and Race play in the creation and maintenance of Privilege, Power, Prejudice and Capitalism?

Unlike many sessions about race and diversity that are shame, blame and guilt ceremonies, this session allows new conversations in a safe, respectful, and even sacred space. Participants experience the power of storytelling in the creation and maintenance of race myths as well as its power to connect people and combat structural inequities. They explore the ways that generations of Americans have experienced and responded to racism, as well as the ways that they can contribute to a more just society.

We are not offering “answers.” But we will have a deep, insightful, safe and, at times, fun conversation that will help you understand social justice, and maybe even plot your social justice action plan.
