SUMMARY:Is This Really A Racial Reckoning?
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 1\, 20206:00 PM \nVimeo LivestreamFrances Tarlton “Sissy” Farenthold Endowed Lecture Series in Peace\, Social Justice and Human RightsIs this really a racial reckoning? with Charles M. BlowPresented in partnership with the Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice at UT’s School of LawClick “Register” below to receive link to view. Registration closes at event start time. \n  \nAfter the killing of George Floyd\, millions of people\, of all races and ethnicities\, in America and around the world\, poured into the streets as part of historic protests to demand racial justice. Some began to call those protests a major civil rights moment\, a long-overdue\, honest dealing with racial justice and equality. But\, as months have passed\, as progress has stalled and protests narrow\, we are forced to wrestle with the question: Is this really a racial reckoning?  \nJoin the Rothko Chapel and the Bernard and Audre Rapoport Center for Human Rights and Justice at the University of Texas at Austin for the 6th annual Frances Tarlton “Sissy” Farenthold Endowed Lecture in Peace\, Social Justice and Human Rights. \nThe 2020 Farenthold Lecture will kick-off a series of Rothko Chapel programs exploring the past\, present\, and future of civil and human rights in this country. Which rights are particularly at-risk in today’s society\, and how can we become more effective advocates and activists as we work to undo injustice and create a society of equality and equity? A moderated Q&A session by ABC13’s news anchor Melanie Lawson follows the lecture. \n  \nAbout Charles M. BlowCharles M. Blow is an Op-Ed columnist at The New York Times\, where his column appears on Mondays and Thursdays. Mr. Blow’s columns tackle hot-button issues such as social justice\, racial equality\, presidential politics\, police violence\, gun control\, and the Black Lives Matter Movement. Mr. Blow is also a CNN commentator and was a Presidential Visiting Professor at Yale\, where he taught a seminar on media and politics. He is the author of the critically acclaimed New York Times best-selling memoir\, Fire Shut Up in My Bones.

He then went on to become the paper’s design director for news before leaving in 2006 to become the art director of National Geographic Magazine.

SUMMARY:The Structure of Racism
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Dominican Sisters of Houston and the Center for the Healing of Racism on Saturday\, October 10\, 2020\, 1-3 PM\, for “The Structure of Racism\,” a Zoom presentation examining the structural and psychological causes and consequences of prejudice and discrimination. The workshop will be led by Dr. Craig Oettinger who will discuss these persistent patterns and — with the help of the audience — explore how change is possible.\n \n \nDr. Oettinger earned a PhD from Brown University in 1978.  His dissertation\, “The Politics of Excluded Groups\,” focused on changing Black political strategies\, White response\, and Black influence in American cities.  As a high school student in Connecticut\, he experienced anti-Semitism\, which led him to join a racial justice committee\, an involvement that led to many years as an activist for racial justice.  He taught sociology at the University of Houston\, Clear Lake for 35 years.\n \n \nPlease RSVP to croeger@domhou.org or 713.440.3714.  You must RSVP with an email address so that the Zoom link can be sent to you prior to the workshop.\n
