Diversity Book Club

"They Came for the Schools"

Join us online for a discussion of Mike Hixenbaugh's 2024 study of how a school board win for the conservative right in one Texas suburb inspired a Christian nationalist campaign.

The Diversity Book Club is hosted monthly by AAUW Alexandria / Women Building Cross-Cultural Friendships (WBCCF) and co-sponsored by the Alexandria Burke Branch Library. WBCCF's goal is to give women the opportunity in a diverse and inclusive group to enrich their own lives through these relationships and help amplify the voices of all women in our community. WBCCF believes that the opportunity to come together to explore issues of race, religion, ethnicity, etc. through well-chosen books will not only further our individual learning but also create a setting in which we might ultimately decide on a community undertaking with wider implications.

The Diversity Book Club meets on the second Monday of each month at 7 PM. This program will take place by Zoom and registration is required. After registering with Bonnie Hershberg, you will be emailed the link to join this Zoom meeting. 

If you have any questions about the program or would like to register, which is limited to the first 20 people, please contact Bonnie Hershberg by June 1 at hersh3b@gmail.com.
