Join us on the second Thursday of each month to tackle fascinating memoirs, tales of true crime, nature, medicine and more.
This month's title is Me and White Supremacy by Layla F. Saad.
Me and White Supremacy teaches readers how to dismantle the privilege within themselves so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on people of color, and in turn, help other white people do better, too.
When Layla Saad began an Instagram challenge called #meandwhitesupremacy, she never predicted it would spread as widely as it did. She encouraged people to own up and share their racist behaviors, big and small. She was looking for truth, and she got it. Thousands of people participated in the challenge, and over 90,000 people downloaded the Me and White Supremacy Workbook.
Awareness leads to action, and action leads to change. The numbers show that readers are ready to do this work-let's give it to them.
