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.
This month's Topic:
This Independence Day weekend, join Enid Lee in a discussion on the representation of Freedom Fighter, Harriet Tubman in children's books. While examining the story of Harriet Tubman's fight for Freedom for all, Enid will remind us of the fact that "there were a lot of Harriets " as Rosemarie and Rachel Harding note in their book, Remnants: A Memoir of Spirit, Activism and Mothering. We will be invited to look for and name the many Harriets in our communities today. Don't miss the chance to hear Enid Lee, co-editor of Beyond Heroes and Holidays who is in D.C for a one month residency with Teaching for Change. Teaching for Change will moderate.
A.C.T.O.R. is held on the first Sunday of every month at Busboys and Poets 14 th & V; 5:00 PM.
