This month we hope you can join us as we discuss "The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Ev eryone and How We Can Prosper Together" by Heather McGhee..\nhttps://pgcml s.libnet.info/event/12761277 X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
McGhee embarks on a deeply personal jo urney across the country from Maine to Mississippi to California\, tallyin g what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm&mdash\;the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. Along the way \, she meets white people who confide in her about losing their homes\, th eir dreams\, and their shot at better jobs to the toxic mix of American ra cism and greed. This is the story of how public goods in this country&mdas h\;from parks and pools to functioning schools&mdash\;have become private luxuries\; of how unions collapsed\, wages stagnated\, and inequality incr eased\; and of how this country\, unique among the world&rsquo\;s advanced economies\, has thwarted universal healthcare.
\nBut in unlikely pl aces of worship and work\, McGhee finds proof of what she calls the Solida rity Dividend: the benefits we gain when people come together across race to accomplish what we simply can&rsquo\;t do on our own. The Sum of Us is not only a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here but also a heartfelt message\, delivered with startling empathy\, from a black woman to a multi racial America. It leaves us with a new vision for a future in which we fi nally realize that life can be more than a zero-sum game.
