and Racism
Author of Book on Bias, Racism To Speak 5 PM Monday in Online Darien Library Event
|
Darien Library and the YWCA Darien/Norwalk invite you to join author and racial justice educator Debby Irving for “Waking Up White: A Conversation on Bias, Privilege, and Racism.” — an announcement from Darien Library
Meet Irving and learn about her journey on Monday, July 13th at 5 p.m. Register online, here, for this online event. Debby Irving’s landmark book, “Waking Up White and Finding Myself in the Story of Race,” tells her story of unpacking her white privilege. Her sheltered, upper-middle class childhood in Massachusetts obscured the socially turbulent 60s and 70s from her view. She’d later contrast her experiences with that of her Darien-raised husband.
