R.A.R.E. Lenten Book Study

The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together, by Heather McGhee

Join the R.A.R.E. team for a lively discussion of The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee. A New York Times bestseller and named one of the best books of 2021 by TimeThe Washington Post and Library Journal, The Sum of Us looks at racism and the zero sum paradigm — the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others — as well as at the possibility of another way, what McGhee calls “the Solidarity Dividend” — a new vision for the future beyond the zero-sum game.
