We will be reading the book individually and then gathering for group discussion on Feb 17, from 11:45 AM – 1:45 PM in the Potter House section of the Macomber Community House. 

The following quote about this book speaks to its importance in our lives. “A vital, necessary, and beautiful book, a bracing call to white folk everywhere to see their whiteness for what it is and to seize the opportunity to make things better now.” Michael Eric Dyson . Please join us as you feel led in “exploring our counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality.”
