Session #1

Similarity, Racism and Honor: The Foundation of this course is based on the fact that we have more similarities than differences. Because racism devalues our similarities, namely the humanity in another person,

we can be unified by restoring the value of those things we share.

In this session we will learn: 

1 – We have more SIMILARITIES than differences with one another

2 – What is RACISM and how it dishonors our SIMILARITIES  

3 – The uniting power of HONORING our SIMILARITIES 

 

We are all actually creative variations of the same thing and

we can learn from our uniqueness; recognizing this means we can come together in unity. 

​

Session #2

Grouping: We are all part of multiple groups, those ‘like us’ called in-groups 

and those ‘not like us’ called out-groups.

1 – The breakdown of how we place ourselves in groups 

2 – The difference in how we treat those of each group 

3 – How to convert people in our out-group to being part of our in-group

​

2 – Learn about who people really are

3 – Love those in front of us
