Unpacking Racism in White Liberal and Progressive Families
12 July , 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
This complex discussion will begin with Alice telling some personal stories of what she has uncovered about her home city of Englewood NJ in the 60’s when she was growing up. She always thought she’d grown up in a liberal community, but through conversations with Black and white peers from Englewood, she’s learned otherwise! She’s also taken some hard looks at the particular brands of racism she learned in a white liberal family and how she has carried that with her into her adult life.
Following Alice’s story, attendees will be encouraged to share their own personal experiences with liberal and progressive forms of racism and white supremacy. There will be a particular emphasis on white socialization—what we each learned growing up (whether explicitly or implicitly) about race and what we are carrying with us and/or teaching to our children and grandchildren.
About Alice Levine:
Alice Levine is an educator, a parent and grandparent, and a long-time World Fellowship guest. Recently, Alice took a course in which participants were asked to look at their family histories in relation to race and racism. As a result of her work in that course, Alice has spent the past 6 months engaged in conversations with Black and white peers from her hometown, to build her own understanding of the history she lived through as a white child and teenager, and her own racial socialization in a white liberal family.
