Online Race and Inclusion Book Discussion: White Rage

21-27 Jette Court, Brighton MA

Description

We will discuss Carol Anderson's book, White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide. Carefully linking voting rights and other historical flashpoints when social progress for African Americans was countered by deliberate and cleverly crafted opposition, Anderson pulls back the veil that has long covered actions made in the name of protecting democracy, fiscal responsibility, or protection against fraud, rendering visible the long lineage of white rage. The discussion will happen on Zoom and will be led by local educator Josh Frank. You can get the book from bpl.org. We will have two sessions with 20 participants each on the three dates. Times: Morning session at 9:15-11 AM and an afternoon session at 2 -3:45 PM. To register, please email JP Branch librarian Laura Pattison at [email protected].
