In the wake of the #JusticeforGeorgeFloyd protests, SNO has started an Anti-Racist Book Club for Sheridan Neighborhood residents, which will meet the last Thursday of each month.

📖 The first book we are reading is a collection of short stories called "A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota." This book is available free online here: https://library.biblioboard.com/module/one-book-one-minnesota/masonry/1

💭 Please read the story for the month and any stories from previous months and come with reflections and discussion questions to be ready for small group discussion:
June 25th: "People Like Us" by David Lawrence Grant (p195)
July 30th: "Trouble in Mind: To Be Black is Blue in America" by IBè (p69)
August 27th: "Disparate Impacts: Moving to Minnesota to Live Just Enough for the City" by Taiyon J. Coleman (p25)

☀️ Please bring camp chairs or whatever will make you comfortable outside. Masks are required.

🧠 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.
