White Fragility Book Discussions

WHITE FRAGILITY:
Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism

COCC and other community organizations are hosting book conversations on Dr. Robin DiAngelo’s New York Times best-selling book White Fragility. This book explores the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality.
