Book Conversation in Honor of Black History Month

Please join the MHCC Antiracism Team in the Parlor for a conversation about the book Stony the Road by Henry Louis Gates on Tuesday February 28, 2023 6:30pm - 7:30pm in honor of Black History Month.  

According to the New York Times Book Review, “As essential history for our times, “Stony the Road” does a kind of cultural work that is only now becoming widespread in the United States but that Germans have been undertaking for decades. The German word for this effort is Vergangenheitsbewältigung—coming to terms with the past—and it carries connotations of a painful history that citizens would rather not confront but that must be confronted in order not to be repeated. Vergangenheitsbewältigung is essential for understanding the American past as a whole.”
