In the wake of the #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd protests, SNO has started an Anti-Racist Book Club, which starts June 25th and will meet the last Thursday of the month. The first book will be a collection of short stories called "A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota." When you RSVP, we will send you a scanned chapter by David Grant, titled "People Like Us" which we will discuss at our first gathering.

📚 The first 50 people will receive a hard copy of the book, sponsored by a Sheridan neighbor Conor Hesch, www.closingwithconor.com, a local mortgage lender who helps you get approved to buy a Home or Duplex!

☀️ Please bring camp chairs or whatever will make you comfortable outside. In case of bad weather, we are able to meet in back room of Eat My Words, the bookstore across the street.

📖 We plan to read a few stories from "A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota" in the first few meetings, then will collectively decide on the next book.

🧠 Members of this monthly book club will read books across genres that explore issues of race in America as a means of better understanding ourselves, our history and our Minneapolis community. Education and greater self-awareness are foundational for change. Everyone is welcome. We only ask that you read the book section or chapter so that you can be a fully-engaged participant in that month's discussion.
