Families United: Learning Together About Race and Racism

Live, Interactive, Family Watch-Party Series

August 3 - 5 , 2020


Come, let us reason together and learn to solve the puzzle of race and racism. From the scrolls of ancient prophets to the best thinkers of our current age, we are admonished to seek wisdom. Now is the time, now is the hour.”

- Dr. Terrence Roberts

We invite you to be part of this community conversation and unique thought journey, led by Dr. Terrence Roberts, one of the Little Rock Nine: icon, psychologist, university professor and valued longtime MOT consultant. The three sessions designed by Dr. Roberts are each devoted to an exploration of the Self: 1) as family member, 2) at the intersection with others, and 3) as committed learner in larger society. This multigenerational Zoom watch-party includes prompts for self-reflection, virtual history tours and videos, and hands-on tools you can use to navigate the daunting terrain of facing injustice. You will be joined in conversation with families of diverse backgrounds, races, and religions to reflect, relate, and connect. Recommended for ages 12 and up.

Guest historian, Dr. Kenya Davis-Hayes, will explore the history of racism in America and we will share valuable resources to expand our learning.

Come with curiosity. Come with compassion. And, “Come, let us reason together…”
