Book Club Conversations: I'm Still Here by Austin Channing Brown
​
“In a time when nearly all institutions (schools, churches, universities, businesses) claim to value "diversity" in their mission statements, I'M STILL HERE is a powerful account of how and why our actions so often fall short of our words. Austin writes in breathtaking detail about her journey to self-worth and the pitfalls that kill our attempts at racial justice, in stories that bear witness to the complexity of America's social fabric--from Black Cleveland neighborhoods to private schools in the middle-class suburbs, from prison walls to the boardrooms at majority-white organizations.”
Join us for a community-wide virtual book discussion, in partnership with the Chebeague Island Library, on Saturday, July 25th at 10 AM (Zoom link) to talk about the book so that we can continue to center Black voices as we seek to better understand the racial tensions our country continues to experience.
