Join AD EX, bcWORKSHOP, and DFW NOMA on September 13 from 5 - 6:30pm for a discussion of The Accommodation, the next book selection in the Design Justice Book Club series:

The Design Justice Book Club continues the conversation from its 2020 Place Setting Book Club series that asked how we envision and create radically inclusive places that facilitate and support equitable communities. Join this free book club for one or all four discussions reviewing books that highlight how architects, designers, and planners can foster universal inclusion and fairness in the built environment within the places and communities we impact, both locally and globally. After The Accommodation, the next book to be discussed as part of the series is Barrio America by A.K. Sandoval Strausz, with a discussion to be held on December 7.

The book club discussion is free and in-person at the AD EX. Registration required. Register here. Book copies will be available for pick up at Ad Ex.

About the book selection: “The Accommodation is one of the first major works about the history of race and racism in Dallas, and its importance to the counter narrative of ‘Dallas as a great city for all’ can’t be understated,” shares Jerry Hawkins, Executive Director of Dallas Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation, who also serves on the Deep Vellum board of directors. “The telling of a Black story by a white author deserves continued critique and interrogation, however with The Accommodation, Jim Schutze delivered a must-read treatise about racism in Dallas that was both eye-opening and prophetic.”
