If you are interested in having a conversation about issues of identity, community, privilege, and racism in our lives then join the Cumberland Public Library this evening for a guided discussion using the book Waking Up White by Debby Irving as our guide.

Many white people are confused as to how their identity is aligned with privilege. Tonight, members of Brown University’s Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) will help us to better understand the dynamics of whiteness with the intention to build our practice as anti-racists in alliances, relationships, and interactions with people of color.

Copies of Waking Up White are available at the Front Desk of the library for checkout.

Registration is required, and you can sign up by clicking on the Tickets Available link. Participants will recieve the Zoom meeting link via email on the day of the event.
