For this month's meeting, we will watch the documentary “Daughters” which is streaming on Netflix. This documentary is about four young girls as they prepare for a special Daddy Daughter Dance with their incarcerated fathers, as part of a unique fatherhood program in a Washington D.C. jail. The film made its debut at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival and took home two awards: Festival Favorite and Audience Choice: US Documentary Competition.

At this meeting, we will also select our next book.  Some suggestions:

  • Fifteen Cents on the Dollar by Louise Story and Ebony Reed      
  • Ebony and Ivory by Craig Steven Wider      
  • The End of Race Politics: Argument for a Colorblind America by Coleman Hughes

The author of The End of Race Politics was interviewed on public radio. Interview transcript of Coleman Hughes

In addition, the “other” Anti-Racism reading pod has identified their top picks listed below:
— Color of Law 
— All That She Carried 
— Between The World and Me 
— Evicted: Poverty and Profit 
— Notes of a Native Son
