Panel Discussion:
Race, Invisibility, and Hyper-visibility
Join us on Tuesday, March 24, 2015 at 7 pm in the Woodbury Room for a panel discussion entitled “Race, Invisibility and Hyper-visibility”, which will explore issues of race as experienced by people from our own community.
A multi-racial panel of local people will speak from their experiences growing up in, and/or living in, Amherst. They will share personal stories about being invisible and being hyper-visible, and will engage the audience in thinking about race in the Amherst area. This will be a rare opportunity to learn how others experience the racial situation in our community. The panelists include Janaya Collins, Amina Jordan, Victor Nuñez Ortiz, Josh Odam, and David Ke.
Free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Janet Ryan at 413/259-3223.
This program is co-sponsored by the Jones Library and The Coming Together Project. More information about The Coming Together Project can be found at http://www.coming-together.org/.
