A.C.T.O.R. (A Continuing Talk On Race)
Truly conceived out of the mind of the community, A. C. T. O. R. provides the opportunity for people to come together and speak openly and honestly about issues of race. The intent is that each person walks away from the discussion feeling something—challenged, uncomfortable, enlightened, refreshed or reassured. Each month will offer up a new topic, with Busboys and Poets sponsoring a facilitator.
