Virtual Reading Group for Literary Activism: TRASH by Cedar Monroe with the Stowe Center
Kamora Le’Ella Herrington is a member of the National Black Justice Coalition’s (NBJC) Leadership Advisory Council, a founding member of CT Black Women, and the 2018 Advocate magazines Champion of Change recipient for the state of CT. Her personal life mission includes, “creating spaces where families are free to love their children” which is the guiding principal of all of her work.
TRASH:
Human beings are not trash, and the system that enables humans to imagine each other as such needs to end.
Every day across the US, 66 million poor white people pay the price for failing whiteness. In this sweeping debut, activist and chaplain Cedar Monroe writes indelibly about and for poor white people: about unlearning the American dream, untangling from white supremacy, and working for liberation alongside other poor folks.
The Stowe Center is pleased to host a monthly book club to discuss works that embody the values of literary activism. Our book selections are from Stowe Prize shortlist and winners; works which engage with social justice, tell honest histories, and model how we can all be part of change for good.
Please join us every second Wednesday of the month to discuss these important and timely books with guest hosts who will guide our conversation and offer diverse insight and perspectives.
Meetings will be held on the second Wednesdays of the month starting in September.
