Over thirty students from B.M.C. Durfee High School and Bishop Connelly High School and a number of adult leaders attended the fourth of five sessions that are being provided to various groups of youth around the city to learn how to confront discrimination and prejudice in their own lives and the lives of their fellow students. Held on March 22, 2017 at the Fall River Boys and Girls Club the goal of the meeting was for everyone to understand the connection between oppression and violence, understand the significance of empathy in healthy community relations, understand how insensitive rhetoric can create tension in community relations, recognize the role of privilege and how to use privilege to be an anti-oppression ally. The training is a project of United Neighbors of Fall River and Partners and was led by Social Capital Inc. AmeriCorps Jay Wong.
