Join us for a virtual 3-part discussion as, together, we work through the book "Me and White Supremacy: a 28 Day Challenge to Combat Racism, Change the World, and Become a Good Ancestor" by Layla Saad.

Ramona Akpo-Sani will facilitate the discussion. In addition to reading and discussing the book there are questions for each participant to answer for themselves in an effort to help the reader personalize the material by looking at their own history, attitudes, and actions.

Meetings will take place on Saturday, November 7, 21, and December 5 at 1:30. Link to the virtual meeting, held on the Zoom platform, will be emailed out to all participants 24 hours before the start of each gathering. Copies are available at Orwell Free Library, on our online ebook source, Hoopla, and as a free Kindle book with Amazon Prime.

ABOUT THE BOOK, from the publisher:
When Layla Saad ran a free month-long Instagram challenge during the summer of 2018, she had no idea it would become an international cultural movement. Thousands of people from around the world were galvanized by the #meandwhitesupremacy challenge, examining and owning responsibility for the ways in which they uphold white supremacy. Over 80,000 people downloaded her guide to the movement, Me and White Supremacy Workbook in the space of just six months. And now, that guide is a published book. Me and White Supremacy leads readers through a journey of understanding their white privilege and participation in white supremacy so that they can stop (often unconsciously) inflicting damage on Black, Indigenous and people of color, and in turn, help other white people do better, too. The book goes beyond the original workbook by adding more historical and cultural contexts, sharing moving stories and anecdotes, and includes expanded definitions, examples, and further resources.
