COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS: BEFRIENDING RADICAL DISAGREEMENT

  • Barrington's White House 145 West Main Street Barrington, IL, 60010 United States (map)

When Matthew Stevenson invited R. Derek Black to Shabbat dinner, it set Derek on a transformative path toward unlearning his beliefs. The rest is chronicled in the book Rising Out of Hatred: The Awakening of a Former White Nationalist. What can we learn from their story? How can friendships open our minds and expand our thinking? Join hosts Rev. Dr. Zina Jacque and Jessica Green to welcome Derek & Matthew to Courageous Conversations at Barrington’s White House. Presented in partnership with the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center.
