High school-aged teens are invited to be a part of a Book Club at the Taylor Family YMCA on Thurs., Feb. 23 at 7 p.m. There will be snacks, hot chocolate and a discussion about the book, Dear Martin, by Nic Stone.

These important topics will be discussed:

  • Privilege, entitlement and implicit bias
  • The media and public discourse
  • Support, acceptance and belonging

Dear Martin Summary: "...Tested by racist classmates, skeptical friends from his former neighborhood and a rain of bullets, Justyce finds himself a target in the battle over police brutality and race. What would Martin do?" -- Common Sense Media
