McCauley to Facilitate Race and Class “Talkabout” Sept. 26

Posted in News

On Saturday, September 26, from 4 to 6 p.m., Prospectus artist Robbie McCauley (More SUGAR) will facilitate a “Talkabout” concerning race and class at First Church of Roxbury, 10 Putnam St. in Roxbury Crossing, Roxbury, MA, hosted by the Boston Busing/Desegregation Project (BBDP).

“Part performance and part dialogue, BBDP members and audience will come together to listen to each other’s stories, discuss how the workings of race and class keep us stuck, and think about ways we can move forward, individually and collectively.”

Based on BBDP’s report, “Unfinished Business: 7 Questions, 7 Lessons,” the Talkabout will touch on the school desegregation crisis in Boston, “but we also want to examine how the issues that were at play then are still with us today and how things may or may not have changed.”

Everyone is welcome to attend this free event.
