Join in a community multi-generational and multi-racial discussion where you are invited to engage in small and large groups for brave conversations about Civil Rights and Will Smith’s Netflix series “Amend: The Fight for America,” episode titled “Wait,” and its relevance to the challenges we all continue to face today.

Previewing this not mandatory for participation.

Most importantly, we will discuss actions we can individually and collectively do to bring about change. Wellesley Public School students and World of Wellesley board members will co-facilitate the discussion.

This year’s events are all virtual and FREE, but we invite you to join with World of Wellesley in taking action by making a voluntary contribution. All proceeds will go to the scholarship fund of the Boston NAACP, an organization that practices “Good Trouble”, coined by the late Senator John Lewis.

If you would rather send a check, please mail to World of Wellesley, P.O. Box 812381, Wellesley, MA 02482. In addition, donations can be made to WoW online: https://worldofwellesley.org/about/donate/
