The library's upcoming virtual book discussion of Heather McGhee’s new book, *The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together *seems particularly timely for many reasons. Racism exists everywhere, including right here in Highland Park where neighbors of color recently experienced targeted harassment. We all have something to learn be it through books, structured discussions, conversations with friends and neighbors and strangers, experience, and more. Please see info from the library about the book discussion below - - I hope you consider participating.
