The Waking Up White Regional Read which is hosted by the La Crosse Public Library in conjunction with the Waking Up White Collaborative kicked off on August 16th and will continue through mid-November. The Read will distribute 1000 free copies of the book, host 9 Public Presentations, and 20 small group facilitated BookChats.
The Waking Up White Regional Read’s intent is to encourage frank community conversations on structural oppression, prejudice, color blindness, dominant white culture, and its effects on people of color and to motivate us to take action to create a healthier multicultural community.
