Description:

What is Race?  A.C.T.O.R (A Continuing Talk on Race) welcomes Dr. Frances Cress Welsing to discuss Rachel Dolezal, "Passing" and racial identity.

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing is an African American psychiatrist practicing in Washington, D.C.. She is noted for her "Cress Theory of Color Confrontation", which explores the practice of white supremacy. She is the author of The Isis Papers: The Keys to the Colors (1991). 

The A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) open discussion series is hosted by Busboys and Poets as a community service. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something: challenged, educated, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed, reassured and hopefully inspired and moved to action! Each month there is a new topic for discussion.

Free and open to all. To be added to the A.C.T.O.R. email list, please email events@busboysandpoets.com. 

A.C.T.O.R. is held on the first Sunday of every month at Busboys and Poets 14 th & V; 5:00 PM.
