July 24  Section 4 (1868 – 1963)

July 31  Section 5 (1963 – Today)

Jason Reynolds wrote Stamped: Racism, Antiracism, and You based on Ibram X. Kendi’s book, Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America. Both books use the same five-section framework as the history of racist ideas were constructed and spread over centuries. Dismantling racism or discrediting racist ideas begins by understanding their origin and their purpose. If interested, please purchase a book and begin reading. We will meet to discuss the sections on Sundays following worship for approximately an hour. The church has a few copies of Stamped available for purchase.

 (Copies will be made available during the PRIDE Picnic on Sunday!)

If you have questions, please contact Rev. Anne Marie Holloway (annemarie@hillschurch.org) or Rev. Richard Edens (richard@hillschurch.org).
