CRRC-Waco

Welcome to our newly redesigned home on the Web! We are excited to unveil the new look of the Community Race Relations Coalition of Waco.

As you browse through, please keep in mind that we are still beefing up our content. Please bookmark this site so that you can keep up with all that we have going on in 2010.

In 2010 we will be "Talking About Race."  This message will pervade most of what we do this year, beginning with our first quarterly meeting, 5:30 to 7:30pm at the Texas Life Annex.  The theme of this is meeting, "How to Talk About Race," and we will have a panel discussion on this issue, discussing  our fears and concerns, do's and don'ts, and how to begin changing our behavior to include people of other colors and  cultures in our lives.

Motivations for the CRRC board adopting this theme include three major things.  First, we have had interest on the part of some CRRC members in this subject very specifically.  Second, racism is rearing its ugly head in overt ways since the election of our first African American president.  And third, the idea that we MUST talk about race, not ignore it.  There are many reasons to confront this issue, but an interesting read on the subject can be found in the September 14, 2009 edition of Newsweek magazine.

The CRRC is good at talking about race.  We believe it is important to acknowledge, discuss and celebrate race, to celebrate the beauty of the variety within humanity.  We welcome your participation in 2010 in talking about race!
