White Learning Circle
The White Learning Circle (WLC) is an immersive program for a small group (10 -12) of participants. It meets every other Sunday afternoon from 4:00 to 5:30 PM from October through May.
The content of the program provides a comprehensive introduction to the wide range of issues that are important in understanding the history and legacy of slavery in the United States. We look at these issues both from the personal and systems perspectives and how both these perspectives are interwoven through our culture – in our relationships with others and our institutions. Our learning takes place through the lens of Black Americans through their writings.
For each session, members come prepared by having read one or more of the selected readings. Two members serve as co-leaders for each session. We also are in conversation with Black Mentors at different points in the learning plan.
The registration deadline is September 23, 2024. The Circle begins on Sunday October 6, 2024
