Join Northern Neighbors for our first Reading Optional Book Club in 2024. We will be discussing Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law by Richard Rothstein and Leah Rothstein. This book proposes real world solutions to challenge the residential segregation in our nation established and perpetuated through generations of unjust federal, state, and local laws.
If you engaged with the material from Richard Rothstein's The Color of Law and wanted more information on solutions to the problems he describes, then this discussion is definitely for you!
However, all are welcome - even if you didn't read! For example, another option is to watch a video on the material.
We will share more information shortly about the event, but in the meantime, feel free to message dancewithliz@gmail.com with any questions.
Drop in anytime between 6 and 8 PM!
