> with an opportunity for self-reflection, sharing experiences, and  
> influencing each other's perspectives and attitudes. MRC brings  
> together a diverse group of people who make a commitment to meet  
> together for five weekly sessions to deepen the level of our  
> community-wide conversations on race, and to provide a safe space  
> for each of us to consider taking our next steps in addressing local  
> issues.

> Since 2007, MRC has hosted Talking Circles for more than 500 people,  
> including Ithaca City School District (ICSD) staff, government  
> officials, and community members.  In September 2012, MRC is  
> offering a community-based Talking Circle. MRC provides refreshments  
> and child care, if needed. We ask that participants make a  
> commitment to coming to all five sessions. All sessions are held in  
> downtown locations. Facilitators will send readings to the group  
> before the first session, and while participants are not required to  
> read them, participants' thoughts and responses are welcome.
