A Conversation About Anti-racism Between Author and Activist Frederick Joseph and Fifth-Grade Teacher Colby Sharp.
Writing from the perspective of a friend, Frederick Joseph offers candid reflections on his own experiences with racism and conversations with prominent artists and activists about theirs—creating an essential read for white people who are committed anti-racists and those newly come to the cause of racial justice. After reading The Black Friend, fifth-grade teacher Colby Sharp posted a heartfelt video on YouTube in which he stated, "I felt like this book was written for me. It’s like the author knew what I needed." Frederick’s book extends a hand to everyone striving to be better anti-racists, and in that spirit Colby extended a hand to help get this book out into the world. We are very excited to bring them together here in what we know will be an important and powerful conversation.
A Certificate of Attendance will be issued to those who attend this webinar. A recording will be posted to Mackin.com for those who cannot participate in the live session.

Duchess Harris, JD, PhD Presents: The Uplifting Story of Calvin Spann, a Tuskegee Airman
History is shaped by people who work for change. Throughout history, those who have faced discrimination have made significant accomplishments while fighting to secure their rights. Some of these achievements have become well known, while others have not.
Join Mackin and hear the story of Calvin Spann, the daring World War II fighter pilot who soared in the face of US military segregation as he fought with the African American flying force, the Tuskegee Airmen.
Author Duchess Harris examines and explores Spann’s life and legacy, while reviewing how his story is captured in ABDO’s "Freedom’s Promise" collection.
