Upcoming Viewings & Study Group
Traces of the Trade
A documentary film by first time producer, Katrina Browne, regarding her family's troubling discovery that their New England ancestors were the largest slave trading family in US History. Trace the route followed by these ancestors, and participate in the struggle of their descendants to come to terms with their family's past, structural racism and white supremacy culture.
Following the October 26th showing and discussion of the documentary film, Traces of the Trade, the Upholding Racial Justice & Equity Group (URJE) will be providing additional opportunities to view the film, and - hopefully - to engage in a time limited study group with prompts from the film's producers.
Stay tuned for further information.

FGC Online Worship for White Friends Confronting Racism
The Friends General Conference (FGC) Ministry on Racism hosts a weekly Meeting for Worship for Friends of European Descent confronting racism and white supremacy. It will be held every Thursday evening at 6 PM MDT and Friday at 10 AM MDT. It is in the care of a rotating team of co-facilitators.
FGC requires that all attendees registered to participate. All attendees agree to treat each other with respect. Like at all FGC events, we have a no-harassment policy in place during our time together.
If you are white/of European descent and would like to join, please click HERE to complete a registration form (needed only once) to receive weekly emails about the event.
From an AMM regular participant: "I mark my calendar now by the weekly Worship for White Friends Confronting Racism group. It is a space in which I can consider issues of internalized racism, experiences as a white person in bringing anti-racism consciousness and work to my meeting, and growth in my understanding of the spiritual aspects of this work. I find it discouraging that the number of attendees is small -- with this offering extending to Quakers across the country. It begs the question as to where is everyone else? As one participant said, "We have to find ways to talk with other white people about race!" Join us!"
