Antje Mattheus and Lorraine Marino, who led the nationally recognized workshop series White People Confronting Racism, will be honored.
As a girl in war-torn Germany, Antje experienced the splintering impact of bigotry and, as an adult, dedicated herself to challenging racism. In 1997, she launched the present series and was joined by organizational development consultant Lorraine Marino in leading high-impact workshops that, without inviting blame and shame, support white people in taking deep responsibility for ending racism.
George Lakey, director of Training for Change which sponsors the series, will join Antje, Lorraine and graduates of the workshops to speak.
