Inviting Montgomery County residents to assemble to have a Dialogue on Race: A community summit.
The focus of the summit will be to understand what it means to be an African American in Montgomery County today. In 2011 the Dialogue on Race Committee initiated a process to hold a series of meetings on race and ethnicity.
Some of the issues raised in the meetings over the past year include, jobs/employment, income, education, racial profiling, “Jim Crow” thoughts and actions, and white privilege.
Lunch and beverages will be served. To help us prepare, RSVP to Wornie Reed (wornie@vt.edu or 540-231-6107). For more information, please contact Penny Franklin (onlyonepenny@gmail.com or 540-230-3701).
