Next Sunday, April 30, 2023, at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Silver City

April 30, at 10:00 am, 3845 North Swan Street  – “Language and Privilege”

Ellen Mana’ar Johnson will talk about language and privilege and how the two interact.

“When we are born, we are born into particular circumstances that we cannot do much about as children. Privilege can be defined as having a special status or receiving special benefits because of who our families are and where we are born. Children acquire their native language without formal lessons just by absorbing the speech of their community, those around them,” Johnson said.

“In a world where some languages are valued more than others, and some ways of speaking are considered bad and wrong, those children who are born into families where the higher status language is spoken have an automatic advantage over others,” she added.

Johnson’s talk centers on the first and second principles of Unitarian Universalism: The inherent worth and dignity of every person; and Justice, equity and compassion in human relations.
