DESCRIPTION:As part of the Malden Reads 2021 program\, Malden Reads is collaborating with Malden Community Organizing for Racial Equity (MaldenCORE) and the City of Malden to host a free 4-part-virtual workshop about unpacking systemic racism in the United States. \nWorkshop participants will be asked to read and reflect on the book “Me and White Supremacy: Combat Racism\, Change the World\, and Become a Good Ancestor” by Layla F. Saad. The book is divided into 28 short chapters with reflection questions at the end of each chapter.

However\, people of all racial\, ethnic\, and cultural backgrounds are also encouraged to participate in and apply for the workshop. \nThis workshop is available only to people who live or work in Malden\, are involved in a Malden organization\, or have some other connection to the Malden community. The workshop is most appropriate for adults and mature high school students. The workshop will be held in English. \nParticipants will be asked to attend all four workshop sessions and actively engage in the reading.
