Presented by Ron Weisberger & Robyn Worthington

We are exposed to them every day. We learn them from our peers, our families, and even from popular culture. Stereotypes are pervasive and powerful because they shape how we view our world. They also can determine how we act toward others. In this presentation, learn from historical events how seemingly “harmless” stereotypes can lead to prejudice, discrimination and things even darker such as lynching and genocide. Participate in a discussion about the stereotypes with us today, and how we can learn from the past to create a more tolerant tomorrow
