Village SquareCast - A Local Color listen-in: Part 2

Our Local Color Project 2019-20 season is made possible by the generous support of Bank of America.

From conversations between friends who've been gathering for 3 years to talk about race, no matter how much white people care about the Floyd tragedy and its aftermath, it's hard to comprehend just how visceral the trauma is for black people — and how bracing the impact is on their lives.

Part 2 of this Local Color "listen-in" begins with thoughts on the Amy Cooper situation – she’s the white woman who recently called the police on a black man in Central Park when he reminded her that her dog was supposed to be on a leash.

Village SquareCast - A Local Color listen-in: Part 1

Our Local Color Project 2019-20 season is made possible by the generous support of Bank of America.

In the wake of the tragic killing of George Floyd, join us for a Local Color “listen-in” to hear from 5 community members who open their hearts and minds to help us all grow in our understanding for our fellow human beings… our neighbors. In this episode, you'll hear an open discussion on racism in America, particularly focused on recent events, by a group of Local Color participants who have been meeting for 3 years to discuss race in our society. They have built strong relationships among a diverse group of people, in an effort to come together to make progress on one of our nation’s most critical issues.

As discussed in Part 1, click here to access the Everyday Discrimination Scale by Harvard's David R. Williams.
