The Robert S. Abbott Race Unity Institute

Invites You to a Community Virtual Workshop

 

“Running with Ahmaud: Chasing Truth

What it Means to be Black in America”

 

As part of its continuing programming to foster a deeper understanding between races and cultures, The Robert S. Abbott Race Unity Institute Inc., Glynn County, will conduct virtual workshops to examine systemic racism within our communities and institutions and the role it played that lead to the death of Brunswick citizen, Ahmaud Arbery.

 

The program will be facilitated by Cherry Steinwender, executive director and co-founder of The Center for the Healing of Racism in Houston and, Laura Gallier, program facilitator.

 

The Center is generously offering this program free of charge, but will accept donations at https://www.centerhealingracism.org/donate

 

During the session, Ms. Steinwender and Ms. Gallier will lead a discussion that examines the embedded societal conditioning and deep-rooted racial stereotypes that influenced the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, and which continue to perpetuate violence against African Americans throughout the country.

 

Mr. Arbery, a 25-year-old African American man jogging through the mostly white Satilla Shores community of Brunswick, Georgia, was chased and fatally shot by a group of neighborhood white men on February 23, 2020.

 

“Running with Ahmaud: Chasing Truth

What it Means to be Black in America”

YOU MUST SIGN-UP TO PARTICIPATE

Reservations will be limited to the first 100 at each session.

This is a continuation of Abbott Institute sponsored programming, such as the Dialogue Racism workshop presented last fall, to educate and enlighten participants regarding the systems that create the intentional and unintentional factors in our society that foster and perpetuate institutional and systemic racism. Our discussions explore long-standing biases and beliefs that affect us daily within our justice, educational, health care and economic systems, as well as the media.
