Learning to live together

 

The Toledo Community Coalition and The Blade have partnered to sponsor a series of public forums that aim to spark a community discussion about race in Toledo. Tim Wise, author of the memoir White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son, will speak on Thursday, September 12 at Woodward High School Auditorium as the featured guest for 'Changing Minds and Changing Lives: Combating Racism.' Wise's lectures are usually discussions of white privilege, institutional racism and racial profiling—organizers hope that his message will cause listeners to open their minds and change their current perceptions of race. Toledo Public Schools students who are members of Young Women of Excellence and Young Men of Excellence will work as greeters at the event. The forum will also feature a panel discussion of community leaders that will follow Mr. Wise's speech.

7pm. Free. Woodward High School Auditorium, 701 E. Central Ave. For more information, email [email protected]
