Community Reading Circle
On June 16th, following the murder of George Floyd, the YWCA of Southeastern Massachusetts began offering a Community Reading Circle and book Discussion on racism. The discussion is hosted by Andrea M. Garr-Barnes, MSW, an Equity and Inclusion Facilitator (and NAACP New Bedford Branch member); Jamie Berberena, Community Advocate; and Jordan Latham of the YWCA. Registration for the discussion group, which now numbers over 100 Zoom participants, is closed. The group is now reading Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility: Why it's so hard for White People to Talk about Racism and will be meeting for the third time on Tuesday.
