Participate in a meaningful conversation about race and racism in this seminar facilitated by the St. Paul Foundation's Facing Race Initiative. The course increases personal awareness of issues of race and racism and increases personal comfort levels in addressing these issues.
The seminar draws on the work of author Dr. Peggy McIntosh, who writes, "I feel that seeing privilege is the missing link between understanding discrimination of any kind and how to end it. I now believe that white privilege, rather than discrimination, is the central actor in racism."
