Anti-Racism Book Club: THE MESSAGE by Ta-Nehisi Coates

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Between the World and Me journeys to three resonant sites of conflict to explore how the stories we tell—and the ones we don’t—shape our realities.

Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing, in the tradition of Orwell’s classic “Politics and the English Language,” but found himself grappling with deeper questions about how our stories—our reporting and imaginative narratives and myth making—expose and distort our realities.

As People of Hope we strive to walk beside those most impacted by injustice…the immigrant and refugee, our LGBTQIA+ siblings, people of color, the unhoused, the creatures of the Earth…to name just a few.

Our current areas of focus are supporting our immigrant neighbors, anti-racism, LGBTQIA+ allyship, promoting human rights for Palestinians, and deconstructing Christian nationalism. If you are passionate about these or other topics, please join us – we would love to hear from you.

Together, we are better able to face the suffering of the world in love and to have a greater impact – with more joy – as we work for justice. Join us first or third Wednesday afternoons to learn or share about opportunities to get involved…as a community, we CAN make a difference.
