Let’s Keep Talking!
ACTOR (A Continuing Talk on Race)
In honor of National Poetry Month, we invite you to join us for a powerful and thought-provoking ACTOR (A Continuing Talk on Race) discussion.

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.
