White Rock United Methodist Church: The Accommodation Book Discussion

Join White Rock United Methodist Church for a night to discuss the history of racism in the City of Dallas.

We'll gather with City Council members Paula Blackmon and Adam Bazaldua at Garden Cafe to discuss Big D Reads ’22 selection, The Accommodation, by Jim Schutze. The book tells the mid-century history of Dallas, centered on the civic response to the bombing of Black citizens’ homes, and the ongoing housing crisis that traces its roots to the Civil War and Jim Crow.

If you need a copy of the book you can find it at the public libraries or you can order one from Deep Vellum Publishers here in town. Also, you can find a reader's guide here.

Registration is required to attend this event. Register for the event here.

Note: White Rock UMC has extended an invitation to the author, Jim Shutze. It appears he will be joining, but that is subject to change.
