Online Race and Inclusion Book Discussion:
South to America
Saturdays, May 6, 13, 20
9:15 - 11 AM (Morning) or 2 - 3:45 PM (Afternoon)
We will read Imani Perry's South To America. Weaving together stories of immigrant communities, contemporary artists, exploitative opportunists, enslaved peoples, unsung heroes, her own ancestors, and her lived experiences, Imani Perry crafts a tapestry unlike any other. With uncommon insight and breathtaking clarity, South to America offers an assertion that if we want to build a more humane future for the United States, we must center our concern below the Mason-Dixon Line.
The discussion will happen on Zoom and will be led by local educator Josh Frank. You can get the book from the library or purchase it from Rozzie Bound. We will have two sessions with 20 participants each on the three dates. Times: Morning session at 9:15-11 AM and an afternoon session at 2-3:45 PM.
