MATT OSBORN
"Honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day"

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is one of the many heroes of our time who we
honor for his commitment, dedication, and struggle toward the end of racism,
poverty, and war.  While many claim that we are living in a post-racial
society because of the election of President Obama, we must know better than
that and continue to strengthen our dedication to the eradication of racism
and white domination.  We will discuss ongoing movements and campaigns
working to bring attention to the impacts of racism within our country and
on a global level.  We will honor Rep. Byron Rushing's work to bring a bill
forward that would require Massachusetts businesses to disclose their
history of benefit from slavery.  We will also discuss the role of white
people and what anti-racist solidarity looks like today.  Please be prepared
to look deeply as we honor the legacy and work of Dr. King.

Matt Osborn is a CCB board member who recently completed the Anne Braden
Anti-Racist Training Program.
