Description:
The Civil Discourse Series is presented by The Meadows Foundation.
Conspiracy theories have existed for thousands of years, but recently
have become an increasingly pervasive part of society. Join the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum for a
conversation addressing the critical issues around this phenomenon. How
do conspiracy theories form and take hold, and who believes in them? Has
there been growing support for conspiracy theories in recent years, or
are they simply gaining more exposure in the age of social media and
high speed communication? How do we combat the misinformation that lies
at the root of conspiracy theories?

Description:
Living, as we do, in a time of unmitigated hatred,
hate crimes, acts of antisemitism and extremism, we must take steps of
awareness and action. With programming, to include social media posts
and a six-part workshop series (offered virtually), Holocaust Museum
Houston takes on a new kind of leadership and outreach.
The goal of the Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred Program
is to cultivate upstanders who are aware of the power of hatred in
human decision making and to provide community members an opportunity to
learn important concepts of history, civic awareness, and social
justice. This program empowers community members to reflect and act.
We
must find ways to talk and interact with each other beyond boundaries.
At the same time, we must create ways to disallow hatred in our culture,
two actions that may seem contradictory, but are essential in this time
of our society’s history.
In each session of the Creating Possibility | Disallowing Hatred sessions,
we will share a critique of a piece of hate rhetoric, extremism, and/or
antisemitism, with the goal of educating the community on how to
recognize, reflect on and respond to hateful content.
Coordinated
with social media outreach, we offer a series of six workshops
co-facilitated by Mary Lee Webeck, Ph.D., Holocaust and Genocide
Education Endowed Chair – Celebrating the Life of Survivor Naomi Warren
and Beverly Nolan, Ed.D., Chair – Education Advisory Committee,
Holocaust Museum Houston.
Each session will be rebroadcast at 6:30 p.m. on its scheduled date.
