The Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice will present Symbols of Hate: A Community Conversation at its town hall meeting from 7 to 8:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 11, via Zoom.
Symbols such as gestures, signs, objects, signals and words help people understand the world. They provide clues to understanding experiences by conveying recognizable meanings that are shared by societies. But symbols also have a dark side, especially when they are used to convey hate and bias.
Today, people see a proliferation of Confederate flags, swastikas, hand gestures and other symbols of oppression. Just two years, ago the whipping post was finally removed from the grounds of the Old Sussex County Courthouse. What do these symbols mean in today’s society? What harm are they causing and what can people do to counter them?
Speakers discussing these issues will be Alon Wilicki, Southern Poverty Law Center senior research analyst; community activists Jane Hovington and George Beckerman; and SDARJ Steering Committee members Joe Lawson and Tom Irvine.
To register and join the conversation, go to sdarj.org.
