Racial Justice Book Discussion: So You Want To Talk About Race

Join SURJ Marin facilitators on February 20th, 2022 to discuss So You Want to Talk About Race, by Ijeoma Oluo.

Protests against racial injustice and white supremacy have galvanized millions around the world. The stakes for transformative conversations about race could not be higher. Still, the task ahead seems daunting, and it’s hard to know where to start. How do you tell your boss her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law hang up on you when you had questions about police reform? How do you explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend?

In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from police brutality and cultural appropriation to the model minority myth in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race, and about how racism infects every aspect of American life.

This conversation is intended primarily for the education of white people. We welcome all who want to help move white people along in the movement for racial justice.

The event will not be recorded.
