Join us for a powerful presentation about racism and inequality, led by author Debby Irving.
The League of Women Voters of New York State is honored to welcome Debby Irving, author of Waking Up White: And Finding Myself in the Story of Race, to speak to our communities about race and systemic racism.
Using historical and media images, Debby examines how she used her white-skewed belief system to interpret the world around her. Socialized on a narrow worldview, Debby explores how she spent decades silently reaffirming harmful, archaic racial patterns instead of questioning the racial disparities and tensions she could see and feel.
This workshop is designed to support white people in making the paradigm shift from ‘fixing’ and ‘helping’ those believed to be inferior, to focusing on internalized white superiority and its role in perpetuating racism at the individual, interpersonal, institutional, and cultural levels.
