Unpacking Racism Forum #2
This virtual community forum builds on conversations and concepts from the first Unpacking Racism discussion in December, 2020. Attendees will continue to explore the social constructs of race and racism – specifically your racial identity and the characteristics of white supremacy culture. You will explore how you as an individual and a member of this community can actively support the Town of Swampscott’s commitment to becoming a welcoming community for all. This discussion will be led by Swampscott’s DEI Critical Partner Tamy-Feé Meneide, who has been facilitating the Town’s antiracism initiatives.
