Creative Expressions on Race, an afternoon of art and entertainment

[lauraruth.livejournal.com]

Dear Neighbors,

Our congregation has taken up a project called "Sacred Conversations on Race" - thinking about and acting against racism in our congregation and in Davis Sq.

As a part of this work, we are hosting a program this Sunday afternoon, "Creative Expressions on Race," from 4-6 PM in our sanctuary at 89 College Ave.

We  will be presenting art, spoken word, and music by the following artists and activists:

Pete Shungu/Afro DZ ak
Elizabeth West
Vangile Makwakwa (of Speak2BFree)
Iyeoka Okoawo
First Church Children's Choir
Laura Ruth Jarrett
First Church Ensemble
Centro Presente Youth

We hope you will invite your friends, friends from work, your children's friends, your activist friends, your congress members, Representatives, City Alder(wo)men, and all who seek to make the world a just place.

Fabulous food will follow, catered by Michael Schulman, plus potluck food from the congregation. Some food will be vegan, some vegetarian, some fried chicken.

Suggested donation: $5

We'd love it if you'd join us for the afternoon at First Congregational Church.

Rev. Laura Ruth Jarrett
