Aiming for Justice: Race Reparations and Right Paths with K. Melchor Quick Hall
Dec 13 and 14, 2021 (pre-workshop sessions); workshops begin proper in January 2022
Mon 12pm – 1:30pm EST, Tue 7pm – 8:30pm EST
Designed by Black feminist scholar-activist K. Melchor Quick Hall, the month-long workshop will be facilitated by – and offered for – US-based, white inheritors of wealth.
From the very beginning, this reparations workshop was designed as a popular education experience that would not pay homage to the knowledge of any single expert. Past participants will be taking lead by facilitating all synchronous workshop sessions. Videos, readings, and workshop design will continue to be managed by K. Melchor Quick Hall, who has designed and modified the workshop for the past three iterations.

Into the Night: Holiness of Darkness with Rev. Rhetta Morgan
A Pendle Hill First Monday Lecture with Rev. Rhetta Morgan via Zoom.
In this exploration, we will look at the hard things that happen in the dark, and how language of darkness can become imbued with bias and limitation. In examining the language and frames around darkness, can we challenge negative connotations and move towards holding the dark as holy? This First Monday program will not only utilize lecture, but also song and meditation. Free to the public! Registration required.
