The “Jena 6″ Reminds Us Why We Must Work for Racial Justice
The civil rights rally in Jena, Louisiana reminds our nation that racism remains a real issue, and this a recent reflection on the God’s Politics blog that it’s not just a southern concern, but that “Jena is America.”
How can we overcome this legacy of injustice?
To help build a better understanding of your own cultural background, and how that influences your perceptions, ICPJ is organizing a discussion on the ANTI-RACIST COOKBOOK, scheduled for Tuesday, October 9 at 7:00 p.m. at the Ann Arbor Community Center, 625 North Main St.
Come prepared to talk about your personal stories and experiences regarding race, discrimination, and what you can do to open lines of communication. If possible please RSVP by e-mailing stephanie@icpj.net or calling ICPJ at 734-663-1870.
You can download a flyer for the event.
Jena is America, but a better America is possible. Together we can take a small step to make that possible.
