Reading for Understanding: A Book Club with Issues (Non-Fiction Book Group)


Event Details


The February selection for Reading for Understanding (the nonfiction book club) is Tears We Cannot Stop by Michael Eric Dyson.

About Tears we Cannot Stop:

As the country grapples with racist division at a level not seen since the 1960s, one man’s voice soars above the rest with conviction and compassion. In his 2016 New York Times op-ed piece “Death in Black and White,” Michael Eric Dyson moved a nation. Now he continues to speak out in Tears We Cannot Stop―a provocative and deeply personal call for change. Dyson argues that if we are to make real racial progress we must face difficult truths, including being honest about how black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, or discounted.
