DESCRIPTION:Columbus Day and the Creation of Whiteness\nA Racial Justice 
 Dialogue\nMonday, October 10th, 6:30pm\nGlaser Center. 547 Mendocino Ave., 
 Santa Rosa CA\n\nOctober 10th, 1492, the day that the Arawak people 
 discovered Christopher Columbus, is needless to say an important date in 
 our history. But it also means different things to different people. On 
 October 10th, 2011, the Racial Justice Allies of Sonoma County is 
 sponsoring a discussion of "Columbus Day" (or "Indigenous Peoples Day" 
 depending on who you ask). We will be talking about what this means for us 
 today, how the myths of Columbus, the "discovery" of America, and the 
 creation of whiteness continue shaping our realities in 2011, and how we 
 can counter the dominant narrative that privileges white reality, history 
 and culture over that of indigenous peoples and people of color. \n\n"The 
 mission of the Racial Justice Allies is to create a space where white 
 people explore and take responsibility for racism and white privilege, 
 develop anti-racist identities and practices, and work as allies for racial 
 justice."\n\nThis event is FREE. This is a participatory event, so we 
 expect all to come ready to listen, share and be willing to be challenged. 
 \n\nThis event is wheelchair accessible\n
