and sentiment. Led by Rashad Norris, Director of Community Engagement at Highline College, the forum will provide a space for each person to learn about what anti-Black racism and sentiment is, how it impacts our lives, and what it looks like in our system.
Importantly, there will also be affinity space available to process the information we have taken in and to reflect upon the actions we can take, both individually and collectively, to combat anti-Black racism and sentiment in our institutions and system.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
