Amidst the civil rights movement that has swept over the nation this summer, a new committee of the Miramonte High School Parents Club hopes to do its part.
Aiming to support equality and a sense of belonging for all families, the Equity, Diversity & Inclusion group provides resources on racism and multiculturalism, including a list of literature on its website. The group has started a Racial Justice Reading Group which kicks off its first meeting with the New York Times best seller How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi.
Orinda Books plans to order extra copies of the book and has offered to donate 20 percent of the sales to Dr. Kendi’s Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University. Miramonte English teacher Steve Poling will lead a Zoom meeting 7 p.m. Aug. 25 to discuss the book.
