Hello Peace Lovers,

Plans are beginning for our MLK program to be hosted on January 15, 2010 at the Champaign Public Library.  Our first planning meeting will be Wednesday November 18, 4 p.m. at Paneras located at Kirby and Mattis.

It will be fun, I promise.

In Peace,

Subject: [Peace] another AWARE film... 2pm, Sunday, November 15, Champaign Public Library, room C (main floor, near the coffee shop)

AWARE Films invites you to a screening of "On White Privilege" at the
Champaign Public Library at 2p on Sunday, November 15th. (See below
for more about the film and author/speaker Tim Wise.)

We've chosen this 60-minute film because -- while always topical,
unfortunately -- this subject seems especially appropriate in light of
tragic events that have occurred in our area over the past several
months.

Eye-opening for whites. Reinforcing for persons of color. After-film
discussion and refreshments included. FREE and open to the public.

 -Jenifer

"On White Privilege"

For years, acclaimed author and speaker Tim Wise has been electrifying
audiences on the college lecture circuit with his deeply personal take
on whiteness and white privilege. In this spellbinding lecture he
offers a unique, inside-out view of race and racism in America.

Overcoming the defensiveness that often surrounds these issues, Wise
provides a non-confrontational explanation of white privilege and the
damage it does -- not only to people of color, but to white people as
well. This is an ideal introduction to the social construction of
racial identities, and a critical new tool for exploring the often
invoked - but seldom explained - concept of white privilege.
