Race- The Power of an Illusion


I am pleased to be participating in a program sponsored by the Winchester Multicultural Network entitled Race and Place. Using the PBS documentary of Race, the Power of an Illusion, the program is a dialogue among members of the Winchester community on the historical relationship between race, place and economic prosperity. It is hoped that the program will generate specific action steps for our community.

The first session, effectively facilitated by Angela Guidice, explored the insignificant biological differences among peoples of the world.

Thanks to the Network as well as the Winchester Public Library and the Fair Housing Center of Greater Boston for their sponsorship of this important program.
