‘Caste’, by Isabel Wilkerson

A virtual Book Club hosted by Butter Bakery Café

You may use this link to join our Zoom Meeting

To connect with Kingfield’s 100 Days of Community, Butter is offering a set of conversations using Isabel Wilkerson’s book Caste. Join neighbors to consider ways systems of caste are found and active in Kingfield. For April we’ll be having a conversation about Wilkerson’s 8 Pillars of Caste and how we were taught these. We’ll continue the conversation on the third Tuesday of May.

You don’t need to have read the book to benefit from the conversation! And you can join in for any or all events and still find something to activate you to work for equity.

For more information you can contact Dan at the cafe or by email.
