The Blazing Margins Book Club:
This semester The Blazing Margins will be hosting a Book Club!
We will begin by reading passages from The New Jim Crow, a seminal book on the ways in which the justice system in general and prisons in specific uphold white supremacy and anti-Black racism.
If you'd like to have a greater understanding of one of the core issues in social justice today, please join us for this book club! This is a great opportunity to discuss and connect with peers! We plan on this occurring virtually with discussions in the evening.
Please fill this out if you are interested and feel free to reach out with any questions!
