Turning the Page: Changing Perceptions on Race
Wednesday, March 30, 7-8:30PM
Roslindale House. 120 Poplar St
How do we change ingrained attitudes in our society around race? How far have we come as a country regarding race relations? Is it possible to change a person’s deep-seated beliefs by reason alone? How can we acknowledge and move forward from our contentious past in light of recent racially-charged incidents?
Join the Friends of Roslindale Library as we listen to a panel of respected guests discuss how we think about and confront race as a community.
Featured Panelists
Adam Foss – Assistant District Attorney, Juvenile Division, Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office
Ellen Bass – Founding Director, Capacity Institute, Black Ministerial Alliance
Sean Huddleston – Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer, Framingham State University
Dr. Markella Rutherford – Author & Professor of Sociology Wellesley College
The discussion will be moderated by Rev. Lois K. Adams of the First Baptist Church in Sharon. Rev. Adams is also an environmental justice advocate and former chief of tribal, community and municipal assistance branch at the EPA New England.
A question and answer session will follow
