Program:
Unraveling White Privilege
In this presentation, participants will discuss the definition of White privilege, and the way it manifests itself in the lives of White Americans. The goal is to engage in productive discourse and to leave with a better understanding of how privilege can be used to support and build up people groups who do not share the same privilege. Additionally, we will discuss ways this conversation can be happening in schools, and how this conversation builds compassion in students.
