[Al Kagan]

The Anti-Racism Working Group will meet on Monday, Oct. 6th, 8 PM at 
Al Kagan's place.  Here are some proposed topics that we might 
discuss.  Please let me know if you are planning to come.


Anti-Racism Working Group
Some proposed topics for our meeting

1. Responses to Sundiata's and David's Presentation and Discussion in 
Relation to AWARE
	How race trumps class
	Why blacks are majority anti-war but don't participate in 
anti-war protests
	Why large numbers of blacks see through US propaganda
	How white culture interferes with black participation at 
mostly white meetings
	How white culture may silence blacks at  mostly white meetings
	How whites share a view of the world that assumes status quo 
is how it ought to be
	In contrast to other ethnic groups, how blacks are not assimilated
Organization vs. mobilization: why it may not be necessary have more 
blacks come to our meetings, but rather to stimulate activity and 
networking
Need to link anti-war effort to local black movements on the ground, 
such as around schools
If war ended, is our work done?

2. NYC Open Letter (Sept. 26th e-mail from Sarah Knouse)
	Examples of practices witnessed in peace and justice activities
