Admiral Church presents ‘The Idolatry of Whiteness’
Jun 1 @ 12:00 pm – 1:15 pm

Admiral Church presents The Idolatry of Whiteness

“Whiteness is not a racial category, it’s a political one.” – David Billings

Six consecutive Sundays beginning May 4th, Noon-1:15 PM at 4320 SW Hill St
Register at www.admiral.church

The United States of America was both designed to be a place where we collectively recognize that “all [humans] are created equal”, and a place where that equality was originally limited only to White men in ownership caste. As the United States has expanded its definition of human, Whiteness has continued to be an issue, one our society has yet to fully grapple with. In this 6 week course, we will read from great 20th- and 21st-century thinkers about how they have come to understand the power of Whiteness and what can be done to dismantle it in the name of “liberty and justice for all.”

Suggested $20 donation covers printed material and honarium for our guest lecturer and presenter, Black American history scholar AJ Musewe
