Black History Month, we will read Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man by Emmanuel Acho, available at the library. Acho takes on all the questions, large and small, insensitive and taboo, many white Americans are afraid to ask―yet which all Americans need the answers to. Acho explains the vital core of such fraught concepts as white privilege, cultural appropriation, and “reverse racism.” In his own words, he provides a space of compassion and understanding in a discussion that can lack both.

Women's history month, we will read The First Ladies by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray.  A powerful story of friendship between Eleanor Roosevelt and civil rights activist Mary McLeod Bethune, who collaborated to fight for justice and equality despite personal challenges and threats.
