Join Our Final Book Club of the Year!

What’s better than getting cozy with a good book and a warm cup of coffee? Doing it with community! We’re gathering for our last Book Club meeting of 2025, and you won’t want to miss it.

Join our final book club of the year with an unforgettable conversation featuring the brilliant Professor Bernadette Atuahene, author of “Plundered: How Racist Policies Undermine Black Homeownership in America.” This is a powerful opportunity to dive deep into a critical local and national issue, exploring Detroit’s ongoing fight for property tax justice and the broader crisis of Black land loss across the country.

This isn’t just about reading a book; it’s about coming together to learn, reflect, and connect before the year ends. Let’s share our thoughts, hear from an expert leading the charge, and strengthen our community bonds.

A Conversation on Housing and Justice

Professor Atuahene’s work in “Plundered” is essential reading for anyone who cares about justice in our city. The book uncovers the systemic issues that have stripped wealth and stability from Black families, focusing on the very real, very local struggle against unjust property taxes in Detroit.

During our meeting, we’ll have the honor of discussing these topics directly with Professor Atuahene. We’ll talk about:

• The history and impact of discriminatory housing policies.
• The inspiring story of Detroiters organizing for property tax justice.
• What we can do to support the movement for Black homeownership and land reclamation.

This is a chance to engage directly with the author, ask your pressing questions, and understand how these larger issues affect our neighbors and our city. It’s the kind of meaningful dialogue we strive to create, connecting big ideas to our work on the ground.
