This deeply flawed discourse obscures the racial disparities in employment, education, criminal justice, housing, health care, etc. and provides a powerful but faulty rationale for leaving our systems and institutions the way they are. The issues presented at the Community Change Brown Bag Discussion Series are concrete examples of the structural racism that affects the lives of all, most acutely communities of color. The 2009 Series places these issues in their social/historical context and gives attendees a truthful discourse, as well as ways to put that discourse into action, in order to challenge institutional and systemic racism.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><b> <o:p></o:p></b></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><b>Please bring your lunch.
