The Tikkun Olam Committee has invited Don Spector and Myrna Marcarian Mincey of the Conversations on Race program to join us at our May meeting. About 10 years ago, in an effort to foster community racial harmony, the Montclair Civil Rights Commission initiated the Conversations on Race program. As the program states, "Eliminating racism cannot be accomplished without understanding that the issue has taken on different levels of significance to each person and each group of people. We need to understand our own motives, the effects of our actions on others and their motives in how they interact with us. This cannot be accomplished without talking to each other--exploring others and allowing them to explore us at the level of the colorless thread that connects us all, our humanity." Come meet the new program director and join in an interesting discussion of this program.
