Racism in the context of growing diversity in the United States together with reactions to Donald Trump’s election and heightened racial tensions continue to be subjects of growing interest and concern, particularly in light of recent domestic and international events.

In this series of meetings on April 14, 21, and 28, Theologian Kim Harris will facilitate a dialogue about racism from the unique perspectives of the Catholic tradition beginning with African American Theologian Fr. Bryan Massingale’s Racism and the Catholic Church.
