Let’s Keep Talking!

ACTOR (A Continuing Talk on Race) 

HOW THE GAMES ARE PLAYED: THE INTERSECTION OF RACE AND SPORTS

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking community discussion with renowned sports journalist and editor, Dave Zirin, from The Nation Magazine. As one of the most insightful voices on the intersection of sports, politics, and culture, Zirin will delve into how race shapes the world of sports, both on and off the field. From athlete activism to the social impact of sports, this conversation will explore the ways in which race, power, and inequality play out in the sports arena.

A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk on Race) is a public discussion series. It provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race, class and culture. 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!

On the last Sunday of each month, there is a new topic for discussion
