Henrico students to discuss racism, inequity June 23

Table of Contents

Henrico County Public Schools’ “Community Conversations” series will continue June 23 at 6 p.m., featuring an online panel of Henrico high school students discussing issues of racism, injustice and inequity. The conversations are part of HCPS’s Family Learning Series workshops.

For details and information about how to easily join the discussion using Google Meet, visit https://henricoschools.us/family-learning-series/. No registration is required. Only the first 250 virtual attendees will be able to participate and comment during the discussion; if the audience is larger than 250, those participants will be able to see and hear the discussion using a livestream link that will appear on the Family Learning Series page. The session also will be recorded and posted online for additional viewing.

The virtual discussion series originated in response to global protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minnesota. The every-other-week discussions debuted June 8 with a panel of Henrico school leaders. There are three more discussions planned, the last set for Aug. 3. Adrienne Cole Johnson, director of the school division’s Department of Family and Community Engagement, moderates the discussions.

The session originally was scheduled for June 22 but was moved to accommodate HCPS’ closure in observance of Juneteenth.
