September Racial Justice Book Discussion

As part of Newman Congregational Church, United Church of Christ’s ongoing commitment to education and dialogue on structural racism and white supremacy, we invite the wider community to participate in our monthly book discussions.

This program has taken a break over the summer and is resuming in September, focusing on Eddie Glaude Jr.’s Begin Again: James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own.

Sessions are being held using the Zoom online platform on Monday evenings, September 13, 20 and 27 from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.
