Event Details
Join us for a lively discussion about this month's title. All are welcome.
This month, we will discuss our Revolutionary Reads 2020 book, Ijeoma Oluo’s best-seller and winner of the 2019 Washington State Book Award for Non-Fiction, So You Want to Talk About Race.
In awarding the 2019 Washington State Book Award, the Washington State Center for the Book calls So You Want to Talk About Race, “An important work that powerfully illustrates the need to honestly face the lasting, living damage of racism in the United States. With great clarity and empathy, Oluo includes autobiographical and historical scenarios to illustrate cause, effect, and how to move forward. While both young and old need to have the conversation, readers also learn how such conversations can harm people of color when misused for denial or self-justification."
Oluo will be speaking and signing her book at the Revolutionary Reads main event at Kiggins Theatre, April 7 at 7:00 pm. Please join us!
