In January, we are honored to welcome New York Times Bestselling author Dr. Robin DiAngelo from Seattle to Barrington. Dr. DiAngelo is a popular national lecturer and video subject on anti-racism and privilege.
“I grew up poor and white. While my class oppression has been relatively visible to me, my race privilege has not,” DiAngelo wrote in 2006. “In my efforts to uncover how race has shaped my life, I have gained deeper insight by placing race in the center of my analysis.”
In advance of her visit to Barrington, we invite you to read her book, White Fragility, with two opportunities to explore together:
A YEAR OF COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS
On Wednesday, January 8, 7pm at Barrington’s White House, Dr. DiAngelo will lead our session about the way race shapes our lives and provide a framework for white racial literacy.
Tickets: $25
