We've made it easy to continue working towards an anti-racist community and explore racism and supremacy from the vantage point of fiction writers.  This monthly book group is open to all community members. Living in Edina is not required. 

Each month we will highlight one book and offer community conversations. Sign up to join us on Zoom:
