Study Circles
A study circle is a group of 8-to-12 people from different backgrounds and viewpoints who meet several times to talk about an issue. In a study circle, everyone has an equal voice. One goal is that people try to understand each other’s views, but they do not have to agree with each other. The idea is to share concerns and look for ways to make things better. |

Racial Justice Library In February, as well as all year long, videos for elementary, middle and high school age students are available. All the videos are accompanied with a curriculum for teachers that follow the standards of learning in History, English and Social Studies. This is an ideal way to educate youth on tolerance and acceptance in the classroom, after school program and church youth groups. Elementary series has George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman stories. Middle and High school has the Civil Rights Movement, Children’s March, the legacy of Rosa Parks and MORE. |
