Book Discussion Group
Trinity Church Reading Group: Books About Racism & Social Justice

In the wake of George Floyd’s murder last year, at Bishop Hughes’s recommendation last summer we started a reading group focused on books about racism and caste. Our first meeting (via Zoom) was on July 14 and we have been meeting the second Tuesday evening of each month since. We have a core group of a dozen and have attracted several folks from outside the parish. Our discussions have been very illuminating and especially the white people have had their eyes opened to the tremendous amount of suffering black people have had to endure simply because of the pigment of their skin. That said, we have more work to do.
