Did you know? Current scientific estimates are that some 95 percent of brain activity is subconscious.

Our upcoming presentation will address how the subconscious mind controls our implicit biases and some mitigating steps we can take to retrain that part of our mind to appreciate the rich diversity of the human family.

Respond to Racism’s mission is to educate and empower all of us to combat racism. Please join us on Monday, February 6th from 6:30-8pm as RTR presents a discussion by Bob Henderson and Joycelyn Jolly.  Register Today!

We will explore how bias is taught in the early stages of human development as supported by current brain research. Additionally, we will explore mitigating factors to eliminate maladaptive beliefs resulting from bias. In doing so, we will discuss the concept of world citizenship as a means to create a globally integrated world. To bring about such a world will require us to rid ourselves of all forms of pre-judgments involving race, class, culture, creed, nation, gender, and economics. These factors are major barriers to creating a just, diverse, inclusive, and peaceful world community.
