Continuing Conversations opens its series, in partnership with the Princeton Public Library, on Monday, October 7, at 7:30 p.m., with the topic “Important events of the summer regarding race.”
Ann Yasuhara and LeRhonda Greats will moderate the discussion. Participants are invited to bring in the topics they think important that happened over the summer. These might include:
1. The court decision about the Trayvon Martin case. Earlier on this blog someone posted their reactions to the Trayvon Martin case and included links to an essay in New York magazine by Questlove, a well-known black musician.
2. The Supreme Court ruling about voting rights. The Huffington Post is one of the many sites where there is a review.
3. The movie “Fruitvale Station”, based on a true life story. Click here for the trailer.
4. The movie “The Butler”, based on a true life story. Click here for the trailer.
Continuing Conversations on Race are a friendly, safe, confidential opportunity to share ideas and voice concerns. All are invited. They are planned and facilitated by Not in Our Town Princeton and held on the first Monday of the month from October through June in partnership with the Princeton Public Library.
