Last month, during this year's edition of the Fayetteville Roots Festival, two preview screenings of the series were held at Fayetteville Public Library.

Here's a portion of that discussion.

All Saints Episcopal Church in Bentonville is hosting a workshop Sept. 14 called “Facing Race: Becoming Conscious Allies.” Church officials are bringing in a facilitator to lead the seminar, whose goal is to create an understanding of how to become conscious allies to members of the Black community.

There’s been conversation that race, diversity and inclusion need to happen, but where should they happen? Who should participate? What should be the goal? To help us think through other ways of addressing this topic, we invited two consultants to our studio to share their thoughts.

The NWA Climate Strike is scheduled for 12 to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27 on the Fayetteville Square. Attendees can expect speeches, music and a bit of fun.
