Join the Summer Reading Project!

This summer we are reading You Are Not American: Citizenship Stripping from Dred Scott to the Dreamers, by Amanda Frost. Take the summer to read a fascinating book with your fellow parishioners, then join together for an in-person discussion in the Accolti Room on Sunday September 7, after Hospitality. Or, if you can't make that, you can join us on Zoom, Wednesday, September 10, at 6 pm.

Copies of this highly informative book are available through the SF Public Library and can be ordered at local bookstores such as Browser, Books Inc. and Green Apple. Sign up today!

About the book: Over the last two centuries, the US government has revoked citizenship to cast out its unwanted, suppressed dissent, and denied civil rights to all considered “un-American”—whether due to their race, ethnicity, marriage partner, or beliefs. Drawing on the narratives of those who have struggled to be treated as full members of “We the People,” law professor Amanda Frost exposes a hidden history of discrimination and xenophobia that continues to this day.

The Parish Summer Reading Project is sponsored by SOLAR, which consists of the Parish's Laudato Si Circle, Solidarity Ministry and the Anti-Racism Committee.
