Book Launch - Whiteness Made Simple - Dr William ‘Lez’ Henry

Date: Friday 4th April 2008
Time 7-10 pm
Venue: Centerprise, 136 Kingsland High Street, London E8 2NS
Admission: Free

In this ground breaking book Dr. William (Lez) Henry provides an alternative take on whiteness by demystifying its historical role and influence on human relationships as an aspect of white supremacist thought and action. He is the first UK based scholar to consider the privilege of being racially classified as white from a black, Africentric, perspective and does so in his own inimitable and highly engaging style. By presenting various takes on whiteness, ‘Dr Lez’ successfully manages to maintain the analytical depth we have come to associate with him, whilst presenting an account that is humorous, thought provoking, and presented in a way that is intended to change the way we think about race in the world today.

Speaking about the forthcoming events, SURF’s Founder Mary Kayitesi Blewitt OBE said:

“There is a thread that runs through all the work of SURF, a motivation to ensure that the voice of survivors is heard, that the memory of the genocide is kept alive and that the victims are never forgotten. By featuring the testimonies of survivors, the events in London and New York that are hugely important - demonstrating that the one million Rwandans who died in 1994 are remembered, and as importantly, that those still living with the legacy of the genocide are not forgotten. As well, in light of the ongoing genocide in Darfur, we hope to also raise awareness of the importance of acting to prevent genocide – and the repercussions that result from inaction, as witnessed in Rwanda.”

The Components event in London is promoted by AFROGROOV, founded by Rwandan born Karengera Eric Soul to promote contemporary Afro culture by challenging general perceptions and cultural misrepresentations through music, art, workshops and performances.

Dear Sister, (Brothers' please forward this vital information to your sisters, mothers, aunts, partners, female relatives, friends and networks)

The 100 Mothers Movement is an organisation of African women coming together to form a support network and platform for positive change within the black community. We will achieve this change by women contributing financially to support community programmes that will ensure the welfare of the generations to come. The 100 Mothers Movement is also a forum of one voice, one community promoting community businesses and information.

Our Vision is to provide a better future for the generations to come by laying foundations and building institutions to better take care of the family and the community.

As women we are the mothers of our community. So how long can we postpone our responsibility for the community? How long can we sit around and wait for someone to do something?
