After many, many discussions we have decided to have a discussion about <br />the new book “A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota,” published by Minnesota Historical <br />Society. It is a collection of essays by Minnesotans of color. Book discussion details are below. We <br />would greatly appreciate your help spreading the word. Everyone is welcome. <br />*** <br />Community Conversation: A Good Time for the Truth <br />Wednesday, August 17, 7 p.m. <br />Ramsey County Library - Roseville <br />, 2180 North Hamline <br />Please join us for a discussion of “A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota.” This <br />collection of 16 essays gives you a chance to understand what it is like to live as a person of <br />color in Minnesota. <br />Sun Yung Shin, author, poet and editor, will facilitate and guide the discussion based on the <br />concerns raised in the essays, particularly in light of recent events. <br />Copies of the book can be checked out from the Reference Desk at the library in Roseville <br />while supplies last. <br />Books will be available for purchase at the event. <br />This event is funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. <br />Kristina Saksvig | Communications Manager <br />Ramsey County Library <br />4570 North Victoria Street <br />Shoreview, MN 55126 <br />(651)486-2208 <br />www.rclreads.org <br />
