Conversations on Race Book Discussion
Sundays, April 18 through May 23, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. on Zoom with Paula Seabright
Please join us Sundays starting April 18 as we discuss two books; The Black Friend by Frederick Joseph and Long Time Coming by Michael Eric Dyson.
Joseph’s book includes narratives from his life and conversations with several POC. He offers himself as the reader’s Black friend in the hopes that it will help them empathize with the lives of Black people in America.
We will then move onto Dyson’s book in which he speaks directly to five Black victims of violence, and explains why we need to have a true racial reckoning and what is interfering with that.
We will meet on Zoom. All are welcome. To register for the class CLICK HERE and a link will be emailed to you.

Who is William Burris?
Mr. William K. Burris, P.G.
Environmental Restoration Program Manager
United States Air Force Civil Engineer Center
William Burris currently leads the Air Force program to address legacy groundwater and soil contamination resulting from military activity at Joint Base Andrews, Joint Base Anacostia Bolling, and associated Air Force properties. He also serves as part of the overall Air Force Civil Engineering Center’s environmental management team for all Air Force installations located within the Mid-Atlantic Region. He has previously worked in wide array of roles ranging from regulator to consultant to federal program manager on issues ranging from brownfields to national environmental policy act to military munitions and chemical weapons demilitarization.

He maintains a Professional Geologist License in the state of Pennsylvania in a pathetic attempt to pretend he’s still an earth scientist and not just some government bureaucrat.
