About this event

Reading for Understanding

Monthly virtual book discussions hosted by the Dock C. Bracy Center for Human Reconciliation

As a learning organization, the Dock C. Bracy Center for Human Reconciliation seeks to provide opportunities to promote understanding and empathy. Book discussions provide participants with a shared experience and an opportunity to engage with others.

The Center’s Reading for Understanding monthly book discussions are free and have two requirements: Read the book and make time for the discussion.

The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together

Please purchase and read/listen to "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together" by Heather McGhee before our virtual meeting on Wednesday, January 26, 7-9pm Eastern Standard Time.

"One of today's most insightful and influential thinkers offers a powerful exploration of inequality and the lesson that generations of Americans have failed to learn: Racism has a cost for everyone--not just for people of color. "

What should a participant expect?

Participants should expect an email with a read-ahead presentation and meeting credentials the Monday preceding the event. All book discussions are two hours and use Zoom breakout rooms to create small discussion groups. We start together as a large group (7-7:10pm), briefly return to a large group at the half-way point (7:50-8pm) and conclude as a large group (8:40-9pm). Virtual doors open at 6:45pm, unless otherwise noted. All times are Eastern Standard Time.

Support black-owned or independent bookstores.

Many black-owned and independent bookstores now offer shipping. Find a store in your area and shop in-person or online.

Participants are encouraged to continue learning through the Center’s Eradicating Racism: A Path Forward learning series.
