A book group dedicated to reading and discussing issues of race will be meeting on the second Saturday of the month at the Blue Hill Public Library from 2:00 to 4:00 PM until the summer. At the first meeting on March 10th, the group will discuss the book, “Raising White Kids: Bringing up Children in a Racially Unjust America” by Jennifer Harvey.
According to the publisher, “‘Raising White Kids’ is for families, churches, educators, and communities who want to equip their children to be active and able participants in a society that is becoming one of the most racially diverse in the world while remaining full of racial tensions. For white people who are committed to equity and justice, living in a nation that remains racially unjust and deeply segregated creates unique conundrums.”
Surry resident Kate Mrozicki will facilitate the group. Kate is a mom and a farmer, and sits on the board of Healthy Peninsula. For more information call the library at 374-5515. This event is free and everyone is welcome.
