Program Description

Event Details

Connect virtually with other community members as we discuss the March graphic novel trilogy by John Lewis and reflect together on the impact of civil rights movements today. This honest, anti-racist discussion is recommended for ages 11 and up.

Attendees will join together for a presentation followed by intergenerational peace circle sessions in separate breakout rooms. Circles give all participants an equal opportunity to speak, listen, and be heard. 

Adults and students from Dominican University, Oak Park and River Forest High School, and Julian & Brooks middle schools will facilitate these family and community circles.
