The Coos History Museum will be hosting a Special Edition Tuesday Talk in light of the 2022 Juneteenth Celebration. The special program, “Working on Our Whiteness: White People Helping Each Other to Understand and Interrupt Racism” will be held on June 14th, 2022 from 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM. This is an Oregon Humanities Conversation Project program facilitated by Professor of Sociology at Willamette University, Emily M. Drew. This program is free and open to all, but registration is required as space is limited to 25 participants. Join Emily Drew as she facilitates a conversation with our community about one strategy to interrupt and dismantle racism. This discussion is an opportunity for white people to learn and work together to help develop an antiracist community. This conversation will provide a space for open and honest dialogue where we will welcome and encourage all to listen to each other as well as discuss with each other the topics at hand, all while following the lead of facilitator Emily Drew.
