Join the Conversation! 

First Church’s Anti-bias Conversation group invites all members to join an online conversation (via Zoom) on Sunday, April 18 at 12:45 pm.  We’ll discuss the book White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk about Racism by educator Robin DiAngelo. This New York Times bestseller explores the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality.  

If you’d like to learn more and about this important topic, please read the book—borrow it from your library or purchase it from Amazon or one of these Black-owned local bookstores: Harriett’s Bookshop in Fishtown or Uncle Bobbie’s Coffee & Books in Germantown—and plan to join the conversation.
