Race and Faith: Talking About Racism at UW-Madison

Talking About Racism at UW-Madison

Do people of faith talk about race and racism at UW-Madison? How can we do that together in a respectful way? You are invited to listen in on a panel discussion between faculty, administrators, and students as they share how their race and faith perspectives inform their experiences at UW-Madison on this issue. Eighteen organizations on campus have come together to create a space for breaking down walls of division and learning what it looks like to love all our neighbors. This event is free and open to the public. www.preshouse.org/raceandfaith
