One of the things that I love about new media is that sometimes you still get to see at least part of events you weren’t able to make it to in person.

With that, I saw today that the Applied Research Center has posted some videos and summaries from their latest conference, “Facing Race”. The video I’m plugging below is the third of a series that they put up, in which panelists Rinku Sen, Angela Glover Blackwell, Juan Gonzales and Winona La Duke are charged by moderator, Dorian Warren, as either the president (Winona La Duke) or advisors to Democratic presidential candidates, to chart out solutions to advance racial justice in the United States. All of the videos are worth watching, but I especially am grateful when we don’t only discuss problems, but think about solutions. Important conversations, post-Passover, in our remembrance and discussion of past and current day Mitzrayim, our “narrow places” to think about, as Rabbi Kleinbaum discussed in her drash last Friday, how this country still has many “narrow places” to address.
