Amplifying the Voices of Black Youth in the La Crosse Area

  • First Lutheran Church 410 Main St Onalaska WI 54650 USA (map)

Join us in this pressing educational program unveiling the perspectives of black youth and their parents in the La Crosse area. Local Black youth shared their perspectives of experiencing racism, bullying and stereotyping in our community from a very young age.

This 2-day, synod wide online event will include viewing the video and a facilitated discussion. The purpose is to engage our community in necessary conversations about bias, racism and privilege. We challenge our community to change the environment, policies and practices that disproportionately impact black youth and their families. July 10 and July 17, 10am–noon.

First Lutheran will be hosting a watch party in Fellowship Hall. To RSVP email bridget@firtlu.org.
