Waking Up White – Looking for a good fall read? Consider the book Waking Up White, and Finding Myself in the Story of Race, by Debby Irving which will be featured in this series combining Bible study and book discussion.
Debby’s memoir shares her ongoing journey to understand how race influences our communities and relationships. She was intrigued and horrified by the racial divide she observed in neighborhoods and schools in Boston. A class led her to a new observation point: the mirror. She began to see how her upbringing, her story, had defined how she thought about race.
Facilitators, Rev. Karen Allen and Christal Cole will blend Bible study and book discussion into a time of respectful conversation in which we will listen to one another as we share our experiences and understanding. This adult series is open to all; men, women and neighbors. Classes will meet on Mondays, November 5, 19, and 26 from noon-1 PM at the Southern Pines Library, 170 W Connecticut Ave; and at the same time for the second session, November 12, at the Douglass Community Center, 1185 W Penn Ave, Southern Pines. We invite you to read the book Waking Up White before the series begins. Please pick up a copy online or at your local bookstore.
