Study with internationally known diversity trainer Rev. Deborah Johnson. On Friday we view the video “Vocabulary of Change,” featuring Angela Davis and Tim Wise, leading racial and social justice scholar-activists. Rose Aguilar moderates a rare, unscripted conversation on the state of contemporary global politics. Topics include our culture’s uncritical embrace of pervasive individualism, the myth of meritocracy, and entrenched institutional inequality that has led to racialized public policy; the privatization of education, health care and the environment; and the commodification of many basic needs. On Saturday, Rev. Deborah leads a community engagement to support participants in going deeper in understanding and practical application.
