Join us on the second Thursday evening of each month at 7:30 pm for Watch. Read. Listen. Engage. How to Become an Antiracist Discussion Series.  Discussion group activities will include watching movies, listening to podcasts, and reading books (both fiction and nonfiction) that will help educate about systemic racism, prejudice, white privilege and what it means to be a black person in our society. Engage in what may be uncomfortable and possibly challenging discussions with fellow community members.

November 12: Listen. NPR podcast Throughline: American Police. "Black Americans being victimized and killed by the police is an epidemic. A truth many Americans are acknowledging since the murder of George Floyd, as protests have occurred in all fifty states calling for justice on his behalf. But this tension between African American communities and the police has existed for centuries. [In this podcast], the origins of American policing and how those origins put violent control of Black Americans at the heart of the system." Listen before meeting in order to discuss.

December 10: Read. How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi "Historian and New York Times best-selling author Ibram X. Kendi uses a mix of personal experiences, history, and science to show how a person can go from being racist to anti-racist, and how we can all build a new anti-racist society." Copies of the book will be available at the library beginning a month before discussion. Read before meeting in order to discuss.

Registration is required.  Those that register will be emailed login information the day before each session.
