Founded in 2017 in Denver, Colorado by Al Harrell and Angie Arkin, the Symposium on Race strives to create a safe space for open discussion about issues of race in today's society.  Since its inception our members have facilitated discussions on such topics as intersectionality, race in education, implicit bias, and interrogating whiteness. We have also had presentations by Arthur McFarlane, great-grandson of W.E.B. DuBois.

What Have We Discussed Before?

2020 is to be the year of change, the year when we take discussion to action.  Learn more about our plan for action on our News page.

Robert's Rules

We seek to inspire and learn from each other.  However, we also seek to facilitate honest and friendly discussion.  Learn about some of the "rules" of discussion here.

Past Meetings
