Excerpts We Should Read, Talk About and Act On

March 16, 2023

7-8 pm
Important Passages to Guide Us to Stand UP with Our Neighbors

Join us for meaningful Zoom conversations based on book excerpts from social justice literature that can impact how we live in community. No need to read the books before hand; we will share excerpts – that lead to discussion and understanding.

Each of our conversations will be strengthened by participation of the four local leaders who recommended one of the books. They are dedicated to helping neighbors live with each other based on our shared humanity across real and perceived differences.

Under the Skin: The Hidden Toll of Racism on American Lives and on the Health of Our Nation, Linda Villarosa

Recommended by Anna Hollis, President and CEO, Amachi Pittsburgh

Thursday, March 16 – 7-8 pm

In Under the Skin, Linda Villarosa lays bare forces in the American health-care system and in American society that cause Black people to “live sicker and die quicker” compared to their white counterparts.. Anchored by unforgettable human stories and offering incontrovertible proof, Under the Skin is dramatic, tragic, and necessary reading.
