The White Ally Toolkit Training

We are pleased to announce that racial dialogue expert Dr. David Campt will be coming to Minneapolis, March 7 – 9, 2019 to teach his half-day White Ally Toolkit Training to help us build peace within our spheres of influence here in Minnesota. Since research indicates that 55% of white people in America do not believe racism is a serious problem for people of color, Dr. David Campt has developed the White Ally Toolkit Training to teach allies how to foster constructive debiasing dialogues with the racism skeptics within their spheres of influence.

There will be three separate events while Dr. Campt is in the Twin Cities. You are welcome to join us at whichever and however many events capture your interest.

Coming to the Table

At Coming to the Table (CTTT), descendants of those who were enslaved and descendants of slave owners and all those interested in engaging safe constructive dialogue come together to envision the United States as a just and truthful society that acknowledges and seeks to heal the racial wounds from the historical trauma of slavery, and the racism it continues to spawn. 

CTTT provides relationship engagement, leadership, resources, and a supportive environment to dismantle racism that is rooted in the United States’ history of slavery. 

​Join Associate Peacebuilding Trainer Crixell Shell every third Saturday of the month at Sumner Library in North Minneapolis or every fourth Monday of the month at the Wedge Table in South Minneapolis.

February's Film: "I Am Not Your Negro"
​​
Master filmmaker Raoul Peck envisions the book James Baldwin never finished, Remember This House. The result is a radical, up-to-the-minute examination of race in America, using Baldwin’s original words and flood of rich archival material. I Am Not Your Negro is a journey into black history that connects the past of the Civil Rights movement to the present of #BlackLivesMatter. It is a film that questions black representation in Hollywood and beyond. And, ultimately, by confronting the deeper connections between the lives and assassination of Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., Baldwin and Peck have produced a work that challenges the very definition of what America stands for.
