Hi All,

I'm glad to be able to share that the Alexandria Black History Museum, along with several faith leaders here in Alexandria, are re-starting the conversations on racism that they were conducting before the pandemic. Open to all. Highly recommended.

 

Please see message below/attached.

Thanks!

Jonathan

Dear Jonathan,

Join us as we resume our meaningful conversations that explore and celebrate the diversity of cultures and peoples in our area, confront the attitudes and behaviors that still divide us, and seek remedies grounded in the recognition (as stated in the City's ALL Alexandria Resolution) that we are one interconnected, interdependent human family.

Each month, we will host respectful, honest, and thoughtful conversations on race relations, social justice, and more at Alexandria's Black History Museum, 902 Wythe St., Alexandria, VA.

With the help of expert panelists, we will listen and learn from one another and explore solutions for empowering and engaging all people to tackle the challenges of racism.
