Dr. Jennifer Harvey will read from and talk about her new book, Antiracism as Daily Practice: Refuse Shame, Change White Communities, and Help Create a Just World. Antiracism as Daily Practice explores how white Americans can change their everyday behaviors to confront racism in their spheres of influence. “This story-packed treasure paints a vivid picture of what white antiracism looks like beyond protest signs and book clubs. White individuals and institutions, this book guides us towards the micro strategies we need to choose justice over comfort, again and again, in ways that build relationships, sustain us, and finally equip us to break from our white lineage of antiracist inertia.” ―Debby Irving, author of Waking Up White, and Finding Myself in the Story of Race
