Accidental Racists — and Other Elephants in the Room
Thursday, Sept. 12, 8:30-11:30 a.m.
3 general or access-to-justice credits
Oregon Convention Center, Portland
Providing increased access to justice can be challenging, given that it requires communicating and interacting with people of different races, ethnicity, socioeconomic classes and cultural and religious backgrounds. Taking a cue from the groundbreaking and controversial song “Accidental Racist” by country music superstar Brad Paisley and hip hop-legend turned TV actor LL Cool J, this highly interactive workshop explores the ways that subtler forms of bias may show up, where they come from, the impact they can have and what can be done to be more mindful of them. Using clips from films such as the 2005 Academy Award Best Picture winner “Crash,” this program provides a unique opportunity to discover practical and effective ways of developing cross-cultural awareness.
