Welcome to our Anti-Racist Book Club—a vibrant community committed to fostering awareness and understanding in the pursuit of racial justice. In this space, we delve into literature that challenges, educates, and inspires dialogue around racism and its impact on individuals and communities.

Our monthly meetings provide a platform for open and respectful discussions, encouraging members to share perspectives and learn from diverse experiences. We believe in the transformative power of literature to illuminate the complexities of race and racism, fostering empathy and inspiring positive change.
​
This group meets the first Thursday of the month on Zoom. For more information, please reach out to Nicole at npilet@owwl.org or 315-789-5303 ext. 103
