Tuesday Book Group: Why We're Polarized by Ezra Klein
2022-04-19 19:00 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | Zoom Meeting
Are our polarized political institutions driving our political system towards crisis?
From Goodreads:
Discover how American politics became a toxic system, why we participate in it, and what it means for our future–from journalist, political commentator, and cofounder of Vox, Ezra Klein.
In this groundbreaking book, Klein shows how and why American politics polarized around identity in the 20th century, and what that polarization did to the way we see the world and each other. And he traces the feedback loops between our polarized political identities and our polarized political institutions that are driving our political system towards crisis.

The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration
2022-04-09 19:00
Join the League of Women Voters of Naperville for a live virtual tour of The Legacy Museum in Montgomery Alabama. The museum is situated on a site in Montgomery where Black people were forced to labor in bondage. It is only blocks from one of the most prominent slave auction spaces in America, and steps away from the rail station where tens of thousands of Black people were trafficked during the 19th century. After the virtual tour we will hear about EJI’s legal and racial justice work and there will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions and share reflections.
Register in advance for this event HERE.
