Please join us at the Second Tuesday Race Forum, held Tuesday,March 13th at 7 PM at the Park Hill United Methodist Church at Montview Blvd and Glencoe St. in Denver. Entrance and accessibility information can be found at the bottom of this announcement.
Going Beyond Colonization

Jacqueline Keeler, a Navajo/Yankton Dakota Sioux writer, says that one way you can determine if a country is a colony is if it extracts resources from a nation and ships it back to the one percent.  When a people are colonized, there is political domination by the wealthiest, their companies, and their government.  Our discussion will look at ways we can decolonize our minds, the land, the culture, etc.
 
As we look at both perspectives of the colonizer within and the colonized, it is helpful to consider the words of theologian Howard Thurman: “Don’t ask what the world needs.  Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

Accessing the Forum
Please remember to come into the church from the large parking lot on the north side of the church that is accessible off of Glencoe St, that is just east of the church. The door to the church you should use is the one that opens onto that parking lot. If you have passengers with mobility difficulties, you can pull up to that entrance and then park in the lot or on the street. We will be meeting downstairs in the youth lounge this month. Go down the stairs on the right inside the door, or go acorss the ventibule and take the elevaotor in the short hallway to the lower level.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Many of you have heard that Park Hill United Methodist Church is now a sanctuary location with a family currently seeking refuge there.  Security has been enhanced as we continue to be welcomed to use the building for our meetings.  We can only enter the building from the parking lot where someone will be there to open the door for us.  You may not be able to gain access if you are more than 45 minutes late.
