Rescheduled to September 3rd due to curfew
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.
๐ 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
๐ญ 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 IBรจ (p69)
August 27th: "Disparate Impacts: Moving to Minnesota to Live Just Enough for the City" by Taiyon J. Coleman (p25)
โ๏ธ Please bring camp chairs or whatever will make you comfortable outside. Masks are required.
๐ง 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.
