Race is a myth—a social construct without biological meaning—but it was necessary for establishing and maintaining the institution of slavery. Author, Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of “Between the World and Me,” asserts that the history of this country is the story of people who consider themselves to be members of the white “race,” exercising control over the bodies of those whom they consider to be members of the black “race.” A friend relates a wellintentioned experience that later lead him to regard himself as complicit with this bitter legacy. All are welcome. For more information,
