About this event




Registration Required for Regional Read Programming. Use the Register Here link on the right.

The Waking Up White Regional Read’s intent is to encourage frank community conversations on structural oppression, prejudice, color blindness, dominant white culture, and its effects on people of color and to motivate us to take action to create a healthier multicultural community.

Beginning August 16, the Read will distribute 1000 free copies of the book, host 9 public presentations, and 20 small-group, facilitated BookChats. Books are available at a number of local locations.
