Southern Illinois Reads Holds Virtual Book Discussions To Educate The Community On Racial Issues
The Carbondale Branch of the NAACP will hold book discussions through May to open up conversations across racial and socio-economic lines in the community.
SI Reads is a online discussion forum to educate people on racial issues and how to become active in building a better community.
The Illinois Department of Human Services started the initiative Healing Illinois to promote racial healing.
Rev. Alfred McGowan is discussing the book “Countering The Conspiracy To Destroy Black Boys” by Jawanza Kunjufu published in 1983.
He says the book encourages people to find solutions to address these issues and he wants to start by giving children their own book that interests them.

DePaul professor and youth film project coordinator Liliane Calfee gave a presentation as part of the No Malice project. Naomi Getachew, a 13-year-old from Normal, recently made a short film inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. To bring change you must not be afraid, Getachew told
Illinois Times about her efforts. While considering racism and protests that have happened in the last year, Getachew entered the No Malice film contest to show that we may have our differences, but we belong to one human race. Her film is about racial tensions between a white theater teacher, a group of Black students and a Black educator they confide in. At the crux of Naomi s film is a lesson of empathy.
