Free forum to focus on implicit bias

Posted by Press Release on March 25, 2015

Recent national news stories have described numerous tragedies that have sparked talk about race relations in America, a “post racial” society. These tragedies have made it evident that discussion of implicit bias is needed.

Attempting to create a safer and more tolerant community, St. Paul’s Baptist Church, in collaboration with West Chester University and the Office of West Chester Mayor Carolyn Comitta, will be hosting “Courageous Conversation,” a community effort to overcome and understand implicit bias.

The public is invited to join the conversation at West Chester University’s Main Hall at 700 S. High St. on Saturday, April 18, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Workshops will cover topics such as race, faith, sexual orientation, physical ability and the elderly. Register for this free event by April 4, at www.courageous-conversations.eventbrite.com. Lunch will be provided.
