SUMMARY:Racial Justice Series | Session #2
DESCRIPTION:January 14 | 9 a.m. | In-Person + On Zoom\n\nRegister\nTemple M
 icah is continuing to work to understand and confront racism in our buildi
 ng\, in our community\, and in our world.&nbsp\;Learn more about our work 
 this year.\nStarting in November\, we will dive into Claudia Rankine’s&n
 bsp\;Citizen: An American Lyric. This is a familiar title to some of you\,
  as we discussed portions of it in 2022. Now\, Micah member Gayle Wald\, a
  George Washington University professor of American Studies\, will lead us
  in a deeper exploration of the book\, which combines poetry\, essays\, sc
 ripts\, and images to probe issues of citizenship\, microaggressions\, and
  anti-Blackness.\n\n\n 	\nEach of three sessions will use a different part
  of&nbsp\;Citizen&nbsp\;as a touchstone for conversation. &nbsp\;\n\n 	\nT
 he sessions will be cumulative. We will build on what we learn\, continual
 ly deepening our ideas.\n\n 	\nAt&nbsp\;the end of our study\, we will con
 sider what we want to&nbsp\;do&nbsp\;with the knowledge we have gained. Ho
 w can we use insights gleaned from&nbsp\;Citizen&nbsp\;to make our Micah c
 ommunity a space of belonging? To become better citizens of our own commun
 ities\, including our city or states and our nation?\n\n\nWhy are we revis
 iting this text?&nbsp\;\nWe chose&nbsp\;Citizen&nbsp\;because it is engagi
 ng and enlightening\, because it straddles literary genres\, and because i
 t consists of short\, probing pieces that will inform our discussions. Ple
 ase join us even if you don’t have time to read the entire book.&nbsp\;\
 n\nWhen are the sessions?\n\n 	Thursday\, November 30 at 7 p.m. (we will d
 iscuss Chapter 2 of&nbsp\;Citizen)\n 	Sunday\, January 14\, 2024 at 9 a.m.
  (we will discuss Chapters 3-5 (inclusive\, pp. 41-79) of Citizen)\n 	Mid-
 March 2024 (date TBD)\n\nHow do I attend?\nPlease&nbsp\;register&nbsp\;to 
 let us know if you plan to join us.
