The 1619 Project Chapter by Chapter
Many who participated in the J-term 1619 Project study groups expressed an interest in continuing the conversation about this book. Starting February 17 there will be a weekly discussion, starting with the Preface; Origins by Nikole Hannah Jones. We will continue chapter by chapter through the book. The group will meet virtually on Thursday nights from 7-8:00p starting February 17. This is a drop-in group; however it is important that you have read the chapter for the week. This group will be facilitated by Julie Konrardy, and others. If interested please email juliekonrardy@gmail.com
AMEND
Back by popular demand, we will be offering weekly discussion groups around the Netflix series, “Amend.” Will Smith hosts this look at the evolving, often lethal, fight for equal rights in America through the lens of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment. There are six episodes, covering different groups of people and sharing the story of how they’ve been impacted by this amendment. Join us on Sundays beginning February 13, from 11:00a-12:00p via Zoom. If interested please email Molly Hammel mollymcclain1@gmail.com or Umar Williams pantherking@gmail.com
