This book documents the long journey to arrive at a place where community members were willing to gather to discuss the very difficult and uncomfortable topic of race and privilege in our community. It features some of the many organizations that played a role in the journey, as well as those who partnered with Middleham & St. Peter's steering committee to create The Big Conversations on Dismantling Racism and Privilege in Southern Maryland VI and VII. This guide offers a process on how to develop such a program. It is our hope that it will encourage other individuals and organizations to begin and to continue this important conversation in their communities.
