7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
We are often asked to be the change we want to see in the world, but we can’t change what we can’t see.As part of our Awakening to Change series, the Blackstone Library is offering a social justice book club. Each month we’ll read a book selected to help us develop a shared understanding of the complex issues surrounding racism. Over the course of several in-depth discussions, we aim to begin understanding the world in a new way.
The series continues in October with a special screening of the documentary 13th directed by Ava DuVernay. In this thought-provoking documentary, scholars, activists and politicians analyze the criminalization of African Americans and the U.S. prison boom.
The discussion will take place on three Thursdays in October at 7:00 both via Zoom and in person. Please be sure to register for all three sessions individually.
The film will be broken up into 3 parts to allow for more in depth and essential conversations. Meetings will be held on 10/7, 10/14, and 10/21.
Registration is required to receive the link to the online event.
