Calendar: Community Calendar First Unitarian Church Summer Forum Dates July 6 General Information Time Begins at 10 am and lasts about 90 minutes Location First Unitarian Church, 569 S 1300 East, Salt Lake City Phone Number 582-8687 Ticket Cost Free, and child care is available Website http://www.slcuu.org/summer-forum Categories Event Meeting Description / Comments The Fallacy of a Colorblind Society: Understanding White Privilege Irene Ota, Diversity Coordinator & Diversity Instructor, College of Social Work, University of Utah   Whites, as a race, occupy a place of privilege in the United States and are typically unaware they occupy that place. This unawareness has led to a belief in the possible worth of a colorblind society. Therefore, a colorblind ideology will not provide equality of opportunity or condition until Whites deal with their own identity issues. A deeper awareness, understanding, and acknowledgment of our unique history of race and racial identity formation for White people in the United States can help society gain a better comprehension and an enhanced empathy of racial issues. This, in turn, may facilitate equitable treatment of all people. Our church does not hold religious services during the summer. Instead, we hold a series of ten summer forums. This year, the forums run from June 15 through August 17. Please join us any Sunday for a lively discussion. The presentation is free, and all are welcome.
