Conversations on Race
Ramapo

SPRING 2024

Please join us for an SSHS Dialogue Series: Conversations on Race, that aims to address events, issues and trends surrounding race in our society.

This is an opportunity to speak in an informed space, free of conjecture but not void of passion, on the topic of race in the United States.
