    Ever wondered why racism is still an issue in America and we can’t get past it? Civil right laws have been passed, integration has come, and equal opportunity seems abundant, but why does racism continue to plague the fabric of America?

    These workshops are designed for anyone who is ready to go a step beyond traditional diversity training and really discover how racism shapes our thinking, communities, institutions, and conscious/unconscious behaviors. By understanding what’s at the core of racism, participants can began to unlearn it and dismantle this very real problem in America.

    "White Privilege is an invisible package of unearned assets that I can count on (as a white person) cashing in each day, but about which, I was “meant” to remain oblivious. I am pretty sure that I can live in a neighborhood where my neighbors will be neutral or pleasant to me. I can turn on the TV and see people of my color (white) depicted in a positive way. I am never asked to speak for all people of my racial group and I can protect my children most of the time from people who may not like them.” - Peggy McIntosh

    The second workshop will look at White Privilege -- it's legacy, pathology and continuing impact in America and will feature Tim Wise as a presenter.
