Unmasking Racism in Anti-Racism Education: Youth Ministry, Session 1

Despite ongoing anti-racism efforts in our nation racism continues to flourish. If most Americans align with a faith or tradition that upholds values of justice and equity why are we still “here” in this static space? Join us for three sessions as we answer this question by journeying back to our roots: digging up the racism that is embedded in our existing anti-racism frameworks. Together we will explore decolonizing methods and inventory the historical seeds that continue to sprout as intended: to stunt our growth.
Session 1: We will explore the ways in which racism is embedded in the anti-racism frameworks consistently in use today particularly in many faith communities. Digging deep into its presence in youth ministry we will uncover how past perceptions actively impact future progress.
