Author Heather McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the country from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm—the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs and How We Can Prosper Together is a powerful exploration of inequality and the lesson that generations of Americans have failed to learn: Racism has a cost for everyone—not just for people of color. Dr. Dana Waters will lead the discussion. One need not have read the book to come and participate. For more information, please contact Laura Chapman.
