On Thursday, March 21, at 5:30 p.m. CST in Launer Auditorium to hear Heather McGhee present the 2024 Althea W. and John A. Schiffman Ethics in Society Lecture. Her book The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together spent 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was longlisted for the National Book Award and Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. The New York Times called it, “The book that should change how progressives talk about race.” and the Chicago Tribune said, “Required reading to move the country forward…”. It is a Washington Post and TIME Magazine Must-Read Book of 2021.
