Big Read (Combined Destinies)

This is a series of activities and art exhibits, showings, and activities around the reading of a single book by the people of Monterey County.  This year’s selection is “Citizen” a collection of poetry presented in an innovative way. It deals with the realities of being a member of a community of color in modern America.

Their book is an examination of the effects of racism on a surprising group, white people. As the title says we have “combined destinies”. Come hear a talk that will definitely get you thinking about this always fascinating, yet difficult, topic.
