Dialogue Circles on Race 1.0 & 2.0
The recent spotlight on the deaths of Black men and women at the hands of police has awakened more (White) Americans to the reality of structural racism and its various forms of oppression. As a result, many White - and some Black – community members have expressed a strong desire to engage in honest, difficult conversations about race and injustice. Dialogue Circles on Race presents one such opportunity.
Dialogue Circles have been offered since 2015 and have reached more than 400 community members in central New Jersey.
A Dialogue Circle (with 6- 15 participants) meets for five weeks, for two hours at a time. Co- led by trained facilitators, the group members discuss challenging readings, learn to listen deeply to one another’s experiences and move forward in their individual journeys toward understanding and dismantling structural racism. A shared commitment to attending all five sessions ensures that participants will experience the full curriculum and can develop trust and connection within the group.
