February Potluck
Join us Sunday February 8, 2009 when Pat Schenck of Annapolis Friends Meeting and Elizabeth DuVerlie of Stony Run Friends Meeting will present a program on Being White in a Multicultural Society
As the dominant culture, white people think of themselves as the norm, with other people being the different ones, the ones with a race. As a result, whites have a hard time seeing white culture. We will view the film Mirrors of Privilege: Making Whiteness Visible, a documentary that seeks to expose and understand the perspectives that perpetuate white privilege and racism in modern society. Then we will have an opportunity to reflect on how we experience whiteness, whether in ourselves or others.
Pat Schenck is the past clerk and founder of the Baltimore Yearly Meeting Working Group on Racism (WGR). She is a member of Annapolis Friends Meeting, an educator, and a member of the Annapolis Human Relations Commission. Elizabeth DuVerlie is the current clerk of the WGR and a member of Stony Run Friends Meeting in Baltimore. She holds a master s public health and spent a large portion of her career working in the field of Behavior Change Communication. She is also a mediator and a facilitator of restorative practices
