DEC 17 Courageous Conversations “Black  Pete: A disturbing icon at Christmas” 

Merry Christmas!  Happy Hanukah! Blessed Kwanzaa!

Our theme for this month (note that we’re on the third Monday) is “Black
Pete: A disturbing icon at Christmas”  We’ll be exploring ways that even
Christmas can be promoting racism.  I’ve attached some websites that
we’ll be looking at.

5:30 Monday, December 17, at Merrill Community Center, 1428 Wisconsin
Av, Beloit.
