How to Promote Antiracism in Practical Ways
April 25 @ 12:00 pm
Discussion with Professor Mark Joseph about his recently published book of anti-racist short stories, “Changing The Narrative” at Forest Hill Church. A light lunch will be provided.
REB would not exist but for Mark, who introduced the concept at Forest Hill Church six years ago. We encourage folks to attend, meet Mark in this intimate setting, and discuss his book.
Changing The Narrative is a compilation of eight short stories that reveal key insights and guidance about how to promote antiracism in practical ways. Through compelling characters and storylines with unexpected twists, Joseph provides a highly readable guidebook to practicing everyday antiracism.
