The Unity Center in San Diego leads a national healing event around issues of race in America

SAN DIEGO - Feb. 8, 2018 - PRLog -- Churches and spiritual communities throughout the country will gather after Sunday services on February 25, 2018 at 12:30pm PST to view and talk about their experience of the film White Like Me. These discussions will begin locally and then expand nationally. Individual communities across the country will be connected during a live online event where they can share their personal experiences with others throughout the United States.


"Topics like white privilege and racism may be uncomfortable for people to talk about, but until we are willing to have the tough and needed conversations about race and privilege we are going to remain trapped in willful ignorance" Said Rev. Wendy Craig Purcell, founding minister of The Unity Center in San Diego.  "Only when individuals ask the tough questions and face the tough answers will the challenges of racism and privilege be addressed in American life."

People will also be able to join in the event online by going to TheUnityCenter.net

The Documentary "White Like Me" highlights the issues of white privilege and their serious effects on the lives of people of color. Producer Tim Wise uses the film to focus on the current realities of race and racism.

This national event will work to expand the national dialogue about race and racism.

Locally the film will begin at 12:30pm PST on Sunday February 25^th 2018 at The Unity Center at 8999 Activity Road in San Diego. More information can be found on website: http://www.theunitycenter.net
