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.
