Book of the Month
In the wake of protests against police brutality spurred upon by yet another death of a black man at the hands of the police, George Floyd, it is imperative to think of a world in which change can occur. With this in mind, we recommend reading How to be An Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi.
"Ibram X. Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America--but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Instead of working with the policies and system we have in place, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it." www.ibramxkendi.com
