Families United: Learning Together About Race and Racism Live, Interactive, Family Watch-Party Series August 3 - 5 , 2020
- Dr. Terrence Roberts We invite you to be part of this community conversation and unique thought journey, led by Dr. Terrence Roberts, one of the Little Rock Nine: icon, psychologist, university professor and valued longtime MOT consultant. The three sessions designed by Dr. Roberts are each devoted to an exploration of the Self: 1) as family member, 2) at the intersection with others, and 3) as committed learner in larger society.

You will be joined in conversation with families of diverse backgrounds, races, and religions to reflect, relate, and connect. Recommended for ages 12 and up. Guest historian, Dr. Kenya Davis-Hayes, will explore the history of racism in America and we will share valuable resources to expand our learning. Come with curiosity. Come with compassion.
