Discuss the 2021 UUA Common Read –
Breathe: A Letter to My Sons,
by Imani Perry
Tuesdays, Feb. 9, 23, and March 2,
6 – 7 p.m.
Each year the Unitarian Universalist Association selects a single book and encourages congregations throughout our faith to discuss and engage it. This year that book is the powerful work, Breathe: a Letter to My Sons, by Imani Perry. Perry, who is a professor of African American Studies at Princeton, centers her work on the question, “How do you become in a world bent on you not being and becoming,” and responds, movingly and prophetically, as a mother, feminist, writer, and intellectual. Stacy Abrams called the book, “a lyrical meditation that connects a painful, proud history of African American struggle with a clarion call for present-day action.”
UU Princeton will discuss Breathe in a three-part Zoom series on Tuesdays, Feb. 9, 23, and March 2, from 6 – 7 p.m. All are welcome. The book is available wherever books are sold, and if you or someone you know needs assistance in buying the book, please email Bill@UUPrinceton.org.
