To celebrate Black History Month (Feb) we will study this book which seeks to impact the public discourse on race - to move it from the "blame/grievance/rejection" cycle to one of "amity/collaboration/access and equity." Most discussions focus exclusively on racist traditions, we look at the always present moral counterweight of close, loving, friendship and collaboration, which is "the other tradition."
This primer provides an introduction to an unexplored perspective for study, to be followed by taking action around the concept of the "other tradition," to address our country's most vital and challenging issue, racial and cultural prejudice.
