Series Information:
Join the Muskingum County Library System, Nelson T. Gant Foundation, the United Way of Muskingum, Perry and Morgan Counties, and The Muskingum County Community Foundation for a community conversation on race. Starting on Thursday July 23 and continuing for the next three Thursday evenings, these interactive sessions will create a space to allow for dialogue and discussion to help our community understand the issues around race relations in the United States and here at home. The goal of the sessions is to create an atmosphere of respect and comfort while asking attendees to challenge the way they think about the world we live in. Each week will feature speakers in education, law enforcement, social needs, and inadequacies in our community due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as offer break out rooms for more in-depth discussion. The sessions will be free and open to the public via Zoom.
