PORT TOWNSEND — Port Townsend Friends Meeting and the Mandala Center for Change will present a free showing of the film “Race: The Power of an Illusion” at the Port Townsend Friends’ Meetinghouse at 6:30 p.m. today.
The meetinghouse is located at 1841 Sheridan St.
A discussion facilitated by Nikki Russell and Richard Sloane will follow.
The film marks the launch of an ongoing discussion series on race with the intention of “making the invisible visible.”
“We hope that viewing this film will stimulate a thoughtful conversation about race and privilege,” Russell said.
“We’ll explore the historical roots of race and racism and unpack some of the messages about race that continue to impact our lives today.”
The organizers cover a wide range of topics during the series, including the history of racism in the U.S., prejudices, white privilege, cultural appropriation and action for change.
