[Libs-Or] April Follow-Up and May Topic: Unpacking

[Unpacking Discussion Group]

Hi all,

We will not typically send an email out to the listservs after a
discussion, however because this is still so new we wanted to send one out
this month.

We've just put up our first discussion recap on the Unpacking blog
<https://unpackingdiscussion.weebly.com/blog/472022-discussion-follow-up-bigoted-words-and-phrases>.
There are three additional posts scheduled for this month with more stories
and resources from the discussion. We've also linked the Google spreadsheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oSzDMa4XvRKKBcrSfEBeMEqEgdRASpjnbSQ3JW5p9y8/edit?usp=sharing>with
words, history, and resources from our discussion in the post and on the
resources page <https://unpackingdiscussion.weebly.com/resources.html> of
the site.

Finally, our May 5, 2022 discussion will be about "calling out" and
"calling in." More information on the blog about that topic, soon.

Thanks so much,

*Unpacking  <https://unpackingdiscussion.weebly.com/>*is a discussion-based
forum created to provide a space in which white and white-identifying
individuals can examine the realities of their white privilege. Through
conversation, we explore how to actively dismantle systems which oppress
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and from which all white and
white-identifying individuals benefit. *Unpacking* is designed for the
communal education of white and white-identifying individuals, but welcomes
all people who would like to contribute to or engage in this work.
Additionally, though *Unpacking *is rooted in conversations about race, we
welcome a broad range of topics which can help libraries and museums to
become more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible.
