Event Details

Join us for an online book discussion with the author Emmanuel Acho, as we talk about “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man”, this summers Adult Goodreads Book Club choice. **Registration is not necessary but if you would like automated reminders please fill out the registration form. **


In UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS WITH A BLACK MAN, Acho takes on all the questions, large and small, insensitive and taboo, many white Americans are afraid to ask --- yet which all Americans need the answers to, now more than ever. With the same open-hearted generosity that has made his video series a phenomenon, Acho explains the vital core of such fraught concepts as white privilege, cultural appropriation and “reverse racism.” In his own words, he provides a space of compassion and understanding in a discussion that can lack both. He asks only for the reader’s curiosity --- but along the way, he will galvanize all of us to join the antiracist fight.
