CDT's Understanding Racism (UR) group invites you to the launch of our new project: reading and discussing The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGhee. All interested members are welcome to join a hybrid (in person and virtual) kick-off discussion of the book's introduction (while you don’t need to read the intro in advance, it is encouraged.) McGhee’s book has been acclaimed for revealing the hidden costs of American racism and for showing what a new solidarity can achieve.

Next fall, we will begin working through the book chapter by chapter in gatherings where we can share our thoughts and reactions as we read The Sum of Us through a Jewish and congregational lens. 

(While you can, of course, get the book through any bookseller, you might want to consider purchasing it from Frugal Bookstore, a local Black-owned business.)
