SUMMARY:Saturday Morning Racial Equity Book Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Saturday morning\, January 6\, via Zoom\n10:30 to noon\nGather to discuss the first 200 pages of the NY Times Bestseller “The History of White People” by Nell Irvin Painter. Hosts and leaders for this discussion are Ron Zimmerman and Ivy Tillman.  To register for what promises to be a provocative and informative discussion: \n Register \nBook Review Comments\n\n“This terrific new book . . . [explores] the ‘notion of whiteness\,’ an idea as dangerous as it is seductive.”―Boston Globe\n“Often\, scholarly interpretation is transmitted through textbooks that oversimplify and even bore their readers with vague generalities. Far better for a large audience to learn about whiteness from a distinguished scholar in an insightful and lively exposition.”  —A review by Linda Gordon\, author and professor of history at New York University\n“I can’t really summarize this book because it is so information dense. It’s more textbook than summer-read-on-the-deck\, more reference read than cover-to-cover read. I learned a lot from it\, but I’ll probably forget a lot too—and that’s fine. Just know going in that while this isn’t what I would term inaccessible\, it is definitely quite academic.\nThis is a book that is exactly what it claims to be: it’s about race\, but it’s about white people.\nPainter is very careful here\, and I am trying to be similarly careful in the language I use. Neither of us mean to suggest there is such a thing as a “white race” any more than the idea that all Black people belong to a “Black race” (or whatever label you want to use). Part of Painter’s overall thesis is that whiteness is a mutable\, permeable label rather than a hard-and-fast biological\, genetic\, or even social construct. In this way\, Painter seeks to undermine any hope of white supremacists to claim that there is a historical or scientific basis for whiteness-as-race\, whiteness-as-national-identity\, etc.” —Babcock\, K. (2021\, Aug 19). [Review of the book The History of White People\, by Nell Irvin Painter].

SUMMARY:"Missing in Brooks County" Film Showing After Worship
DESCRIPTION:“Missing in Brooks County” is a documentary film about the work being done by Eddie Canales and the South Texas Human Rights Center. In 2012\, Eddie and others became aware of many migrants who went missing while traveling to the U.S. Multiple families were seeking help in locating their loved ones. As the discovery of many bodies of those who perished traveling difficult terrain in Brooks County\, Texas\, Eddie established the South Texas Human Rights Center (STHRC). The Center’s mission is “to end death and suffering along the Texas/Mexico border through community initiatives.” STHRC works with forensic experts to locate and identify those who have gone missing and/or died. In an effort to prevent deaths\, Eddie and volunteers have placed barrels with drinking water along roads and private property in Brooks County. Fifteen members of FHC ITF traveled to the Texas-Mexico border in 2023 and met Eddie and other STHRC volunteers and they helped place water barrels along roads and private property in Brooks County. \n
