Coffee House Discussions hosted by the South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race
June 15, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
The South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race will host Coffee House Discussions (CHD) on June 15, 2017 at 7:00 PM at Maplewood Library. CHD is a quarterly informal gathering for SOMA residents to openly share perspectives on pressing race-related issues and then to collectively explore local solutions. Each topic is selected based on recent local, regional or national occurrences that impact SOMA’s goal to be an inclusive community. Interest in such a series became especially strong after the Ferguson protests; since that time, there have been even more race-related events throughout different American communities. Past topics have included community policing and our youth; building better cross-racial relationships; and facing race and racism with our children.
This quarter’s topic is a continuation from our recent Conversations on Race panel discussion on race and privilege. Learn more below:
