Hit Up The Library

By

We know, we know, the library is closed. BUT there are other ways to attain books! Some libraries are doing drive-by checkouts or have free downloadable audiobooks and e-books via sites such as Hooplah or OverDrive. However you can, this week’s suggestion is to check out a book. Here are a few suggestions:

  • Checkout a book written by a Black woman.  Perhaps something by Octavia Butler, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker or Nnedi Okorafo.

 

  • Check out a book about structural racism in the US such as The New Jim Crow, by Michelle Alexander. 

 

 

  • Check out a book by and about Asian Americans.

 

  • Already on top of this and have a book to spare? Many neighborhoods have Little Free Libraries – enrich your community by dropping a book in there that could help to educate a friend or neighbor. Not sure if there’s one close to you? Here’s a map!

Theater Delta did a great job. This should be done on every college campus.

The Theater Delta experience made it real; this format is significantly better than lecture.

Many other discussions/performances are very general, but this performance led to a very nuanced discussion of communication.

I wish you guys could do this for Congress! We would have a better government. Thank you, Theater Delta, for making me a better person and the world a better place.

The facilitator draws in and wraps up each point – he was very effective in addressing key points and leading the discussion.
