I had the privilege of attending the Real Talk on Race workshop on November 5th at the Montante Center in Buffalo. I was surprised and encouraged by the large audience who attended. There was lots to think about and discuss (both during and after the workshop). I found it to be very educational and worthwhile.

With regard to the venue, I found it difficult to hear everything the speakers and audience said because the acoustics were not optimal. Others I spoke with during the lunch break said they too were having trouble hearing everything. I fear we may have missed some important points of discussion due to poor acoustics.
