The West Linn Public Library provides a welcoming environment that encourages children to visit the Library, attend programs, and use the Library collection and computers. Library staff is committed to assisting and supporting children in using the Library. Library staff cannot provide childcare, supervise unattended children, or assume responsibility for the safety of children left unattended on library premises.
As humans, we constantly label and categorize information on both conscious and unconscious levels. Labeling enables our brains to sort information efficiently, but the labels and categories we assign to information can form generalizations and stereotypes in our minds. When we allow stereotypes to define individuals, we fail to see the inherent diversity in humans. Race is a form of labeling. What are we describing when we assign racial categories to others and ourselves? How can we use language to increase understanding and connection, and what are its limitations? Join public interest lawyer Ann Su for a conversation exploring how the words we choose influence our understanding of race and racial diversity
