It is 2018 and race relations is still the most divisive issue in America. Join us, after services and during Shabbat lunch, for a discussion that will bring new insight into practices, programs, policies and thoughts that many hold dear, vs. taking an analytical look at what is really meant in these documents (National Anthem, Judicial system, Education, etc). We will also explore some ways to begin to close the divide. Speakers include: Ginger Hopkins, a member of the Downtown Synagogue who has been a lifelong community activist and free thinker, Chantel Henry, REACH Coordinator raised in Southwest Detroit and on Chippewa of the Thames First Nations reservation in Ontario, and Dr. Marcy Epstein, who teaches social justice and writing at the Comprehensive Studies Program at the University of Michigan.
