Join us on 2024’s National Day of Racial Healing for an interactive discussion with the acclaimed author and activist Rich Pelligrino. Pelligrino will share the stories behind his life’s journey and anti-racist activism through themes from his latest book, I Am Not White: One Man's Journey from Whiteness to Oneness.
Venue: Kennesaw State University, Social Sciences Building Room1019
Join author Rich Pelligrino, an internationally acclaimed community activist and organizer, as he shares his six decade journey of experiences on the path to racial reconciliation, self-discovery, and self-determination. Moving through the stages of dependence, independence and ultimately interdependence, Rich shares how he becomes a "woke" warrior fighting "the triple evils" of racism, poverty, and militarism, and a peacemaker building intentional "beloved communities.
The Global Woke Institute, co-founded by the author, teaches how to find one’s true purpose, authentic self, and then to actualize that realization into servant leadership roles in service of family, community, and the broader world according to the vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s "network of mutuality."
Attendees will have the chance to ask questions, receive some free limited copies of I Am Not White, participate in a book signing, and engage in meaningful conversations around racial healing and community engagement with fellow readers.
The Democratic Women's Club of Bay County, FL event is designed to create discussion and awareness about everyday occurrences that we often don't realize may be hurtful to someone.

The large group will observe the small group's interactions and record what they observe. This will be followed by a group discussion. The small groups will be divided between Whites and Minorities. We hope that we create some ah-ha moments and real dialogue.

The story of the United States is based in the painful legacy Indigenous genocide, settler colonialism, and the enslavement of African peoples. In order to truly heal the Earth and our communities, we must have the courage to be able to face our past, acknowledge the harm caused, and center the voices, experiences and wisdom of those most impacted by this legacy.
During Healing Together, we will share our collective stories of discrimination, empowerment, harm, resilience, pain, and joy that have affected our communities for generations. We will be encouraged to confront our own biases and assumptions and to listen deeply to each other. We will also use our imaginations and resources to co-create a more equitable and inclusive future for all New Mexicans.
