From the Black Lives Matter campaign to news headlines about racial profiling, race is something that is on everyone’s mind in 2016. Today’s podcast features books about race, racism, and social justice in America. We picked this topic to coincide with the Lexington Human Rights committee's panel discussion about the Pulitzer-prize winning book Common Ground by J. Anthony Lukas.

To supplement this discussion, Cary Library staff have gathered reading suggestions for today’s podcast from diverse authors to showcase the many great books for all ages about race in America.

Today’s panel includes: Jen W, Eunice, Jen F, Kate, Meagan, and Matt.
