Burgundy’s Book Club: “White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism”
In response to our “White Fragility” Java with Jeff book talk on November 9, which included over 40 Burgundians in attendance, we are offering additional opportunities for Burgundy’s adult community members to come together, book club style, and talk about this profound and bestselling book. Parents and employees are welcome to attend one or all sessions!
We will have two book club groups meeting on different dates and ask that you select one with which to participate.
The first group will meet on the following Sundays from 3:00 to 4:30 p.m. | 2/9, 4/19, 5/10
The second group will meet on the following Fridays from 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. | 2/7, 4/3, 5/22
Please RSVP to one of the two groups using the form below.
