The Color in Freedom Experience–An Interactive Journey Along the Underground Railroad

The color in freedom experience workshops are designed to use arts integration and a positive, nontraditional methodology to talk about slavery.  They will feature age-specific information and use the arts as a tool to engage in conversations about slavery. The workshop’s facilitators are History scholars and experts on the topic of slavery and the Underground Railroad who will utilize their decades of expertise to educate and inform the audience.  Workshops will address each audience at its level.

All workshops will be held at the College of Charleston Avery Research Center, 125 Bull Street, Charleston.  The workshops will take place on May 3 and 4.  For more information, call Sheila Harrell-Roye: (843) 953-7613 or visit the Avery Center’s website.

Racism in the 21st Century

Reminder …

 

Racism in the 21st Century  What is changing about racial discrimination? What do phrases such as white privilege, post-racial, or new racism mean to you? Through interactive exercises this workshop will allow us to candidly address how we experience or witness racism differently based on our own social identities. We will consider what new critical race scholarship has to say about the future of the concept of race and the eradication of racism.

Co-facilitators Dr. Ade Ofunniyin & Kristi Brian
