YWCA, Cornerhouse Partner For Discussions on Racism

As a part of its mission, eliminating racism and empowering women, the YWCA Princeton has partnered with Cornerhouse to host inter-generational discussions on racism. The first event took place on October 17 at the YWCA Bramwell House. The topic was feminism and race.

Part of the YWCA’s Stand Against Racism campaign, the next event will be held December 5 at 7:30 p.m. Paris McClean, head of Sacred Heart School’s Lower School, will speak about Code Switching, which is the switching from the linguistic system of one language or dialect to that of another. According to McClean, “As identities of individuals become increasingly diverse, code-switching has evolved from a language base into styles of dress, social mannerisms, and other forms of self-expression.” 

Bramwell House Living Room is at 77 Bayard Lane.

Space is limited to the first 20 who register at: RSVP@ywcaprinceton.org. For more information call: (609) 497-2100 ext 316.
