Dialogues for Diversity: A Conversation with NYT's Bestselling Author Heather McGhee
Online via Zoom
5-6:30 p.m.
This was an exciting conversation with Heather McGhee, speaker, advocate and New York Times bestselling author of “The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together.” In this discussion we explored our barriers to human commonality and the benefits that we gained as a community and country when we come together in unity to accomplish things that we cannot do on our own, a concept McGhee has coined as the “solidarity dividend.” There will be time for audience Q&A.
