Racial Justice Book Club
Who We Are:
Formed in 2020, club members introduce a book they’d like to read, or if accessible to all, a video or audio pertinent to the subject. We all vote on a favorite selection a month in advance.
What We Read:
After reading/listening to book (or watching movie, podcast) about race and/or multicultural issues, we discuss what stands out, or how it impacts one’s perspective. Although our thoughts are primarily on the state of racial justice in the U.S. today, we welcome all points of view.
When We Meet:
Second Monday of each month at 6:30 PM CTS. For now, our meetings will be virtual on Zoom. Check for our book selection at https://www.bookcellarinc.com/calendar
How To Join:
Contact JD at racialjusticebookclub@outlook.com with your email address for invite link.
