About this Event
Join us on Saturday, November 14 at 5:00PM Eastern for our 17th installment of The 1619 Project: Community Conversations.
There are many grievances regarding the actions taken by the current administration—too many to list individually. Many of you view our bookstore as a safe space to express your concerns and fears. In response, we have been active listeners and have provided support in various forms.
To help galvanize our voices, we’ve launched Community Conversations, a monthly gathering to discuss the impact of current events. Using The 1619 Project as our guide, we will focus on the themes of each chapter to deepen our understanding of what is happening and how we can better equip ourselves during this challenging time. Where possible, we will have subject matter experts to lead the discussions, but we will also rely on each other’s insights.
This month, we will focus on two chapters: Traffic and Progress, with the conversations being led by co-owners, Karin Smith and Derek Tompkins. Please review the chapters in preparation for the discussion.
We hope you will join us, be open-minded, and contribute your knowledge for the greater good of our communities.
