Black History Month is near and we are celebrating with our annual Community Book Study!

This year’s book is The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGhee, a powerful exploration of how moving beyond “zero-sum” thinking helps communities thrive together. Grounded in the spirit of Ubuntu, this book invites us to reflect on how what harms one of us ultimately affects us all.

Join us at our special kick-off event on Friday, January 30, 2026 at 6pm at the University City Public Library (6701 Delmar Blvd). The book study will meet virtually on February 2, 9 & 23 from 6-7:30 p.m. with a “Fireside Chat” as the ending event on Thursday, February 26.
