Book Group: The Sum of Us
The next meeting will be May 31st at 7pm.
​

Picture

Our Book Group is reading The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGhee.

​In unlikely places of worship and work, McGhee finds proof of what she calls the Solidarity Dividend: the benefits we gain when people come together across race to accomplish what we simply can’t do on our own. The Sum of Us is not only a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here but also a heartfelt message, delivered with startling empathy, from a black woman to a multiracial America.

Reach out to the office to find out how you can get a copy of the book.

Upcoming Meetings
​May 31st at 7pm - Chapters 9 & 10
