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- Panama Jackson and Andy Shallal Discuss the "Race Cards". With Kimberly Rattley, Senior Consultant - Cook Ross and Organization Development Specialist.
We will discuss The Race Card exercise Busboys and Poets initiated on May 29th as well as Panama Jackson's article critiquing the project in The Root. Panama Jackson and Kimberly Rattley will be in conversation with Andy to dissect the Race Card exercise and discuss the important points Jackson made in his article. The aim of A.C.T.O.R. is to learn and grow and change the narratives so that we can eventually change our understandings and eventually dismantle the current racist paradigms we experience. This conversation will challenge us to do so.
Free and open to all.
A.C.T.O.R. is held on the first Sunday of every month at Busboys and Poets 14th & V from 5:00 PM-7:00 pm.
