Confronting Racism: Imagining a More Perfect Union

About this Conversation

As America marks 250 years, this conversation invites you to reflect on where we've been and imagine where we're going. This conversation is part of Folio's participation in the American Conversation Project, a national initiative led by the National Conference on Citizenship in partnership with Cortico. Guided by Folio's own 400 Years of Racism reading list, we'll ask what our history with race tells us about who we are as a nation today, what a more perfect union actually looks like, and how we get there. Read one book or several, then join us in person at Folio or on Zoom to explore how understanding our past can shape a more just and united future.
