Talking about Race in Our Families

You are invited to this event coordinated by Alaska Synod leaders, on Saturday, February 3, 9 AM to noon at Lutheran Church of Hope, Anchorage. There will be separate content for adults and children ages 4-12.

    • You work with children or know some and care about how they learn about race
    • You've had a hard time explaining race, privilege and related concepts
    • You feel overwhelmed with what you hear in the news about race

What we will do

This event, led by Lutheran leaders from the Anchorage bowl, is geared toward parents and anyone who cares about how we have conversation about race and racism.  We'll focus on learning key concepts and listening to each other's experiences.  No shaming or blaming – just honest conversation and building of awareness.
