Join YBH for our Book Club meeting. We'll be dedicating our book club series to the action of Anti-Racism. Broken into 2 part meetings per book.
Join YBH founder, Nic Roc, for YBH's Book Club meeting. I'll be dedicating the book club series to the action of Anti-Racism. My hope is that over the next six months we can begin to educate, challenge, acknowledge our implicit biases, and dive into disucssion.
The time you put aside to educate and dismantle your prejudices and implicit biases is the necessary initial work to understanding how to become a better ally.
Our September book is, Women, Race & Class, by Angela Y. Davis
A powerful study of the women's liberation movement in the U.S., from abolitionist days to the present, that demonstrates how it has always been hampered by the racist and classist biases of its leaders. From the widely revered and legendary political activist and scholar Angela Davis.
Currently, there are many book stores who are selling out of a lot of titles geared towards racism. I suggest getting audio books and/or ebooks. Bookshop, has an ebook option of the title to be read.
Most local libraries have free access to audio and or ebooks, if you have a membership.
