Itâs been nearly a year since Marilyn Langeman joined around 80 fellow residents of Landis Homes for a silent, outdoor vigil following the death of George Floyd.
âA number of people who were there, afterward, said we need to continue our work,â Langeman says. âWe decided to begin with education and examining our own racism that we maybe donât recognize.â
An anti-racism resident group formed at Landis and now meets monthly, primarily via Zoom. Members have added a related bookshelf to the library and have amassed a virtual mailing list of residents who are given updates with suggestions for books and online courses.
