About Racial Justice Falmouth
Our story
Inspired by a friend - an African American friend - a BIPOC friend who experienced racism in our town and was generous and willing enough to share her observations and thoughts on this racism - challenged us to start a town-wide discussion group to talk about race. And we did.
​
Our first meeting was April 17, 2019. We introduced ourselves and listened to a talk about one resident's Civil Rights tour. We have been meeting (almost) monthly ever since, including through the COVID pandemic.
We learn by reading, watching and listening broad ranges of content, and by discussing specific and general topics including white fragility, policing, slavery, housing, education and healthcare. We are by no means experts. We sure know a lot more now than before our friend challenged us. And we have so much more to learn - please join us.
