Anti-Racism Speaker Series Kick-Off
How the Trust Deficit in the U.S. Impacts Race Relations
Webinar Registration Open
Conversation with Kimberly Jones and Gilly Segal, authors of I’m Not Dying with You Tonight and the forthcoming Why We Fly.
In partnership with the Little Shop of Stories, the City of Decatur and Better Together Advisory Board will host a virtual kick-off event to the next Anti-Racism Speaker Series with two local authors whose Young Adult book is sparking conversations about prejudice and the racial tension that exists in our country. An NAACP Image Award Nominee, I’m Not Dying with You Tonight follows two teen girls–one black, one white–who have to confront their own assumptions about racial inequality as they rely on each other to get through the violent race riot that has set their city on fire with civil unrest.
Kimberly Jones, Gilly Segal, and series moderator Ed Lee will explore how we establish trusting interpersonal relationships across our racial and cultural differences. For more information on the Speaker Series and register for the event, visit decaturga.com/speakerseries.
