What is White Privilege? How does it affect our culture? Our relationships? Our civil rights?

This is the first of a three part Google Hangout series talking about the issue prompted to center stage by the 2016 general election.

Community Tampa Bay (formerly NCCJ, the National Conference of Christians and Jews) is an organization whose vision is "a community free from all forms of discrimination. We work toward our ambitious vision by cultivating inclusive leaders to change communities through dialogue and cross-cultural interactions."

Our guests include Jennifer Yeagley, Executive Director, Sarah Ogdie, Program Director, and Sam Obeid, Anytown® Coordinator.
