TOWN OF WINDSOR ANNOUNCES CONVERSATIONS ON RACE: SERIES 2020

The Town of Windsor Human Relations Commission announces a series of conversations regarding racial and social justice entitled RACE: THE SERIES.

Different stories and diverse circumstances provoking similar conversations about race on a local, national, and international level will be presented. These themes underscore the reality that America’s deepest wound is far from healed.

The Human Relations Commission chairman Hon. Kevin Washington stated the series will discuss:

• what the Town Council’s Declaration of Racism as a Public Health Crisis accomplishes
• how to be an ally
• what Black Lives Matter is about
• how to encourage youth participation

The series will focus on diversity, division, disparity, and efforts to bridge and heal these issues.  Additionally, the book considered in the One Book—One Windsor program, How To Be an Anti-Racist, will be discussed.
